[Abstract] Objective: Digital X-ray mammography (DMG) interpretation shows reader’s discrepancy and lacks pathological confirmation for some cases. In this study, we used MRI as a reference to investigate DMG in detection and categorization of breast lesions in a prospective and retrospective readings.Materials and Methods: A total of 316 patients underwent breast MRI and DMG were enrolled in this study. The prospective BI-RADS categorization of DMG (pDMG) was independent of MRI, while the retrospective BI-RADS categorization of DMG (rDMG) was MRI-assisted. The detection and categorization between DMG and MRI were compared.Results: The consistency between pDMG and rDMG in BI-RADS category Ⅱ—Ⅳ was 69.66% (163/234), where Spearman r=0.813 and P<0.05. Their consistency between pDMG and MRI in BI-RADS category Ⅱ—Ⅴ was 36.41% (79/217), where Spearman r=0.435 and P<0.05. The consistency between rDMG and MRI in BI-RADS category Ⅱ—Ⅴ was 44.22% (134/303), where Spearman r=0.546, P<0.05. Using MRI as reference, the DMG had a detection rate of 66.42% (269/405) prospectively and 74.81% (303/405) retrospectively. The imaging findings of calcification, mass and asymmetric density on DMG were not consistent with the mass, non-mass-enhancement or background parenchymal enhancement on MRI.Conclusions: DMG is reader dependent in the lesions detection and categorization. MRI and DMG lack a satisfactory consistency in the lesions detection and BI-RADS categorization. Their imaging findings also lack any sort of one-to-one correspondence.
