Summary
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) effectively differentiates malignant from benign breast lesions. Key parameters like eigenvalue 1 (λ1) and mean diffusivity (MD) show high diagnostic accuracy, aiding clinical decisions.
Area of Science:
- Radiology
- Medical Imaging
- Oncology
Background:
- Diagnostic performance of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) for breast lesions remains debated.
- Clinical guidelines for breast DTI are not yet established.
Conclusions:
- DTI quantitative parameters are adequate for differentiating malignant from benign breast lesions.
- Eigenvalue 1 (λ1) and mean diffusivity (MD) are promising parameters for clinical application in breast lesion diagnosis.
