## Abstract The purpose of this study was to apply an empirical mathematical model (EMM) to kinetic data acquired under a clinical protocol to determine if the sensitivity and specificity can be improved compared with qualitative BIβRADS descriptors of kinetics. 3D DCEβMRI data from 100 patients wi
Mammography is currently regarded as the most effective and widely used method for early detection of breast cancer, but recently its sensitivity in certain high risk cases has been less than desired. The use of Dynamic Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DCE-MRI) has gained considerable a
Using gadolinium-DTPA enhanced MRI we analyzed the enhancement characteristics of palpable breast masses in 23 patients--10 cancers and 13 benign lesions. The most specific finding for separating benign from malignant lesions was a ratio of maximum intensity change divided by the time interval durin
