Abstract
Purpose:
To compare direct magnetic resonance galactography (dMRG) and conventional galactography (CGal).
Materials And Methods:
Thirty women underwent CGal and dMRG. Duct localization and the depth of the assumed underlying pathology in CGal and dMRG were analyzed.
Results:
Comparing CGal and dMRG, there was no significant difference regarding sector localization, but for depth of pathology (P=.023).
Conclusion:
Duct localization with dMRG was possible with the same reliability as with CGal. Thus, dMRG may have the potential to become an alternative method to CGal.
