MRI features may aid detection of radiation-associated breast angiosarcomas occult on conventional imaging; leaves open prospective validation of diagnostic performance.
What are the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics of radiation-associated breast angiosarcomas?
MRI is useful for identifying radiation-associated breast angiosarcomas, which often present with rapidly enhancing dermal and intraparenchymal lesions and diffuse T2 high signal skin thickening, even when conventional imaging is occult.
Chikarmane et al. (2014) studied this question.
