Object:
To study the diagnosis of breast diseases and its clinical application value of mammography in combination with MRI.
Methods:
The 46 patients suspected of having breast tumors by mammography, received dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI scanning, and the image features of breast tumors were compared and analyzed.
Results:
MRI was superior to mammography not only in revealing the location, the shape, the border, internal structure of the mass and its chest-wall invasion, but also in revealing the axillary lymph nodes and the internal mammary lymph nodes and the mammary plugger, and in determining the mass nature in displaying microcalcification.
Conclusion:
Mammography in combination with dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI can help to make an accurate diagnosis of breast diseases.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
