[Abstract] Objective: To evaluate the validity of two abbreviated protocol (AP) of MRI in comparison with a full diagnostic protocol (FDP) of MRI in the breast cancer high-risk people.Materials and Methods: Seventy-eight female participants with high-risk of breast cancer were recruited for the study, who were underwent MRI and surgical treatment. Two AP [AP-1: consisting of the first post-contrast subtracted (FAST) and maximum-intensity projection [MIP] images; AP-2: AP-1 combined with diffusion weight imaging (DWI)] and FDP images were analyzed separately, and the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of breast cancer detection were calculated.Results: Histological examination revealed 32 malignant lesions and 46 benign lesions. The average interpretation time of the AP-1 and AP-2 were (78±25) s and (91±29) s, while the average interpretation time of the FDP was (205±54) s (F=12.355, P<0.05). The sensitivity of the AP-1, AP-2, and FDP were respectively 93.8%, 100%, and 100%, and the specificity of the three MR protocols were respectively 76.1%, 91.3%, and 93.5%. In addition, the PPV of the AP-1, AP-2, and FDP were respectively 73.2%, 88.9% and 91.4%, and the PPV of the three MR protocols were respectively 94.6%, 100% and 100%. There was no significant difference among three MR protocols in sensitivity of breast cancer (F=2.142, P>0.05). However, the specificity of AP-1 was significantly lower than that of AP-2 (P<0.05) and FDP (P<0.05), while there was no difference between AP-2 and FDP (P>0.05).Conclusions: The AP may be efficient in the breast cancer screening with high-risk, and FAST+MIP images combined with DWI of MRI are helpful to improve specificity of breast cancer detection.
