Abstract

The aim of present study is to assess role of dynamic contrast enhanced MRI in diagnosis and characterization of breast lesions. The procedure was explained to the patient and a written informed consent was taken from each patient prior to conducting the scan. Adequate pre-procedural counseling of the patient alleviated anxiety and ensured patient co-operation. Result: The fourth decade formed the maximum no. of patients with 30% followed by the fifth decade with 24%. Right sided lesions are more common. Tumor involving >1 quadrant is common Conclusion: The majority of patients presenting with breast lesions were fifth and sixth decades. Most common clinical presentation was lump in breast. Most common quadrant involve in breast was upper outer quadrant and lesions were more common in right breast. Therefore it must be used in conjunction with conventional modalities like ultrasonography and mammography to achieve maximum accuracy of early diagnosis and characterization of breast malignancy which helps in early appropriate intervention resulting in improved prognosis in breast cancers.
