Comparative accuracy of preoperative tumour size of invasive ductal carcinoma on Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Digital Breast Tomosynthesis, Ultrasound and Computed Tomography: Radiologicpathologic incongruence and clinical implications
Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used selectively in addition to digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), ultrasound (US) and computed tomography (CT) in the preoperative assessment of breast cancer patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the preoperative size assessment of invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) on DBT, MRI, US, and CT compared with final histology, and evaluate the impact of MRI on the type of surgery and extent of treatment.
