Combining a breast apparent diffusion coefficient category system with Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System assessment improves specificity of breast lesions diagnosis
While DWI has been incorporated into clinical MRI protocols at numerous medical centres, it has not been included in the official BI-RADS criteria. Adding ADC-B category system to BI-RADS classification significantly improves the specificity of breast lesion classification without decreasing sensitivity compared to the BI-RADS alone.
