Computer-aided evaluation can improve discrimination of breast lesions on MRI
This article has no abstract so we have provided the first paragraph of the full text.
Computer-aided evaluation (CAE) programs are used to aid interpretation of MRI images at many breast screening centers. Automatic kinetic assessment by such programs provides detailed kinetics data for the entire lesion. By contrast, manual placement of a region of interest generates kinetics data for only portions of a given lesion. To determine whether kinetics assessment by CAE improves the discrimination between benign and malignant lesions compared with radiologist interpretation, Williams et al. carried out a retrospective study of 154 lesions from 125 women. Histopathological examination determined that 41 of these lesions were malignant.
