[Abstract] Objective: To explore the value of MRI in the diagnosis of breast medullary and fibroadenoma.Materials and Methods: Data of 9 cases of breast medullary cancer and 15 cases of fibroadenoma confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed and compared. Evaluation the differential diagnostic performance of the ADCmean and the first order features of radiomics based on apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps reconstructed in conventional diffusion-weighted images (DWI) of the cases.Results: The age of patients in medullary carcinoma group was older than that of fibroadenoma group (t=2.446, P=0.022). The maximum diameter of lesions in medullary carcinoma group was larger than that in fibroadenoma group (t=2.254, P=0.033). There were differences in lesion morphology, enhancement characteristics, necrosis and cystic degeneration, signal intensity of plain T2WI lesions, signal intensity of DWI lesions and time-signal intensity curve (TIC) types between the two groups. There are statistically difference in ADCmean between the two groups. Through first order features analysis based on ADC map, Correlation, Energy, Homogeneity, Mean, Standard_Deviation, Entropy, Variance, Kurtosis, IDM demonstrated significant difference between breast medullary carcinoma and breast fibro-adenoma group differences.Conclusions: MRI features of lesions are helpful in differentiating medullary breast cancer from fibroadenoma. ADCmean and some first-order features of lesions have high value in the differential diagnosis.
