Abstract Abstract Breast MRI plays an important role in the detection of DCIS, which most often appears as nonmass clumped enhancement, in a ductal or segmental distribution, with variable enhancement kinetics Most commonly showing rapid initial contrast uptake with plateau, persistent, or washout kinetics in the delayed phase Thus, the role of MRI in the evaluation of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) has focused on two specific clinical applications. The first is the performance of MRI in the evaluation of the extent of the disease in patients with a diagnosis of DCIS, before therapeutic planning. The second application is early detec¬tion of DCIS in breast cancer screening programs. These studies have focused on patients at high risk for breast cancer in whom both mammography and MRI are recommended for screening. Key word: MRI-DCIS- Ductal Carcinoma- Situ |
