Possibilities of MRI in the differential diagnosis of non-lactative mastitis and cancer

Non-lactational mastitis is an inflammatory process in the breast tissue that not associated with lactation. The detection of a malignant transformation during inflammation often difficult, because it has similar clinical manifestations. Medical approach depends on characteristics processes which are received from data obtained radiation diagnostic methods: whether or there nodular formation infiltrate, cystic cavities, dilatation ducts, how axillary lymph nodes changed. Diagnostic errors diseases quite common; according to literature, interpretation clinical, mammographic, and ultrasound signs cancer account for up 53.1% cases. Inflammation, as well cancer, majority cases accompanied by visually detectable increase blood flow due proliferation neoangiogenesis. Magnetic resonance imaging dynamic contrast enhancement (MRI) highly sensitive detecting areas increased vascularization makes possible assess their nature high degree probability any changes structure tissue, including edema infiltration. MR allow make differential diagnosis combination pathological accumulation lymphadenopathy, coded BIRADS system category 4 only absence agent may suggest changes. According MRI-DCE method identifying processes. results 85 studies manifestations non-lactational were analyzed. purpose study: evaluate possibilities magnetic mammography making cancer.
