Virtual contrast-enhanced maximum intensity projections from high-b-value diffusion-weighted breast MRI: a feasibility study
Virtual abbreviated contrast-enhanced (VAbCE) MIPs provided comparable sensitivity to MIPs of unenhanced high b-value DWI and were slightly lower than AbCE MIPs. Adding VAbCE to unenhanced high b-value DWI significantly improved interrater agreement for lesion suspicion scoring. Single-slice evaluation of VAbCE MIPs provided a sensitivity comparable to unenhanced high b-value DWI MIPs.
