Women
at increased risk for breast cancer require annual mammography and MRI. The
purpose of this study is to evaluate cancers detected in MRI screening and
assess the visibility on prior MRI-examinations. MRI-scans of breast cancers
detected in our MRI screening program were re-evaluated and lesions on the
diagnostic MRI and prior MRI were scored according to Breast Imaging Reporting
and Data (BI-RADS) MR-lexicon. The visibility of the lesions on the prior MRI
was rated as visible, minimal sign and invisible. Our results show that almost
one third of the breast cancers should have been recalled based on consensus
review.
