[Abstract] Some breast malignancies manifested as well-circumscribed masses that are similar to benign lesions, it is not easy to differentiate them from benign lesions by conventional imaging modalities such as mammography and ultrasonography. However, it has been proved that MR imaging of the breast can fill many of clinical information gaps that are inadequately evaluated by mammography and ultrasonography due to MRI’s inherently high soft-tissue contrast. Therefore, breast MR imaging can play a substantial role in distinguishing between well-circumscribed benign and malignant breast lesions, especially in cases that are diffcult to diagnose by using conventional imaging.
