3–5 BI-RADs Microcalcifications: Correlation between MRI and Histological Findings

Figure 1

(a-b) A case of MX BI-RADS 4; mammography shows a cluster of microcalcifications in deep upper-outer quadrants of the left breast. (c) MRI shows an irregular area with irregular and segmented contrast-enhancement with longitudinal development (about 15 mm) in deep retroareolar region, next to the cluster of microcalcification seen by Mammography; this case has been classified as MRI BI-RADS 4. (d) time-intensity curve documents heavy but not fast washin and slower washout of contrast-enhancement. Histology demonstrated a DCIS.
