The diagnostic value of reduced FOV (r-FOV) high
resolution diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in
discriminating between benign and malignant breast
lesions was assessed with respect to conventional,
bilateral (bil) DWI and contrast-enhanced (CE) MRI. The
discriminatory ability of r-FOV based on ADC was similar
to bil-DWI. The area under the receiver operating
characteristics for the predictive value of lesion shape
and BI-RADS classification was higher when r-FOV DWI was
used instead of bil-DWI. CE-MRI alone had a higher
predictive value for malignancies than both r-FOV and
bil-DWI. High-resolution DWI of targeted lesions allowed
more accurate evaluation of tumor morphology than
bil-DWI.
