Advanced breast MR Imaging!

Fig. MIP image showing an intense enhancing non circumscribed lesion (cross) in the left breast (upper left image) and the corresponding curve type I-II (right upper image). The morphological characteristics of the lesion suggested a malignant tumour, however the curve was indeterminate type I-II. The kurtosis map showed a high value of 0.93 (lower image) indicating that the lesion is malignant. Histology confirmed an invasive ductal carcinoma of the left breast.
