Retrospective study shows virtual contrast-enhanced MIPs improve sensitivity and inter-rater agreement in breast MRI, suggesting potential for enhanced lesion detection.
Key Points
Virtual abbreviated contrast-enhanced MIPs showed comparable sensitivity to unenhanced high b-value DWI.
Inter-rater agreement for lesion scoring significantly improved with virtual abbreviated contrast-enhanced MIPs.
Single-slice evaluation indicated sensitivity of virtual abbreviated contrast-enhanced MIPs was similar to unenhanced high b-value DWI.
Fewer significant artifacts were noted in virtual abbreviated contrast-enhanced compared to abbreviated images.
