Implication

Diagnostic evaluation reveals high negative predictive values for computerized breast MRI in high-risk women, suggesting reproducible and confident exclusion of malignancy.

Key Points

Develop and assess a computerized clinical system for lesion delineation, rating, and classification on contrast-enhanced breast MRI in women at elevated lifetime breast cancer risk.
Assessed a computerized assessment system applied to contrast-enhanced breast MRI scans in women at increased lifetime risk of breast cancer.
Evaluated diagnostic accuracy and interoperator differences in lesion delineation and risk classification.
The computerized system achieved negative predictive values exceeding 98% at a positive predictive value of 50%.
Interoperator differences were negligible, indicating high reproducibility in ruling out breast malignancy.
