[Abstract] Objective: To evaluate the value of breast T1WI dynamic enhancement scanning combined with T2*-weighted first-pass perfusion imaging in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant breast tumors.Materials and methods: 39 cases of benign or malignant breast tumors verified by pathology underwent T2*-weighted first-pass perfusion imaging and T1WI dynamic enhanced scan. We calculated the reduction rate of maximum signal strength in T2*-weighted first-pass perfusion imaging and the early enhancement rate of dynamic enhanced scan. We also drew the TIC of T2*-weighted first-pass perfusion imaging and T1WI dynamic enhanced scan.Results: There was a statistically significant difference in the reduction rate of the maximum signal strength in T2*-weighted first-pass perfusion imaging of breast neoplasms. When the scale of decrease of maximum signal which arrived 20% be identified as threshold, the sensitivity was 91.7%, specificity was 93.3%, and the accuracy is 92.3%. The difference of early enhancement rate in dynamic enhanced scan of breast neoplasms was not statistically different, but the type of dynamic enhancement curve had statistically significant difference. When the curve was outflow type, it could be defined as malignant standard (sensitivity was 62.5%, specificity was 93.3%, the accuracy was 74.4%). When TIC curve in T1WI dynamic enhanced scan of breast neoplasms was platform type (type II), the type of TIC curve in T2*-weighted first-pass perfusion imaging had statistically significant difference.Conclusions: T1WI dynamic enhanced scan combined with T2*-weighted first-pass perfusion imaging can be help to distinguish benign breast tumors from malignant ones. T2*-weighted first-pass perfusion imaging can improve the accuracy of qualitative diagnosis when TIC curve in T1WI dynamic enhanced scan of breast neoplasms was type II.
