Abstract
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
This study was conducted on thirty female patients operated
previously for breast cancer with breast conservative surgery presented
to clinical oncology department Tanta University Hospital and referred
to the Diagnostic Radiology Department for evaluation. they presented
with suspicious findings at operative bed on sonomammography. Their
age ranged between 32 to 79 years with a mean age of 49.13 years.
The aim of the work was to evaluate the role of dynamic and
functional breast MRI after breast conservative surgery in differentiating
between locoregional tumor recurrence and benign post-operative
changes.
All patients were subjected to full history taking, thorough clinical
examination, sonomamographic, MRI imaging including conventional
sequences, DWI and dynamic post-contrast assessment.
All MRI studies were obtained using a dedicated closed MRI
machine (General Electric SIGNA) HS (high speed) with magnets of
intensity field 1.5 T and gradients 20 MT/m, equipped with bilateral
dedicated breast coils.
In our study MRI was effective tool in evaluation of post
conservative breast for differentiating tumor recurrence from benign
post-operative changes, our results were 8 lesions proved as recurrence
and 22 lesions proved as post-operative changes.
Dynamic MRI was effective in lesions diagnosis as regarding
morphologic and kinetic assessment, DWI allowed qualitative and
quantitative assesement of the lesions.
