Pre-op breast MRI was associated with a 12.5 percent reduced 5-year cumulative incidence of recurrence for patients who underwent surgery for hormone receptor-negative cancer, according to newly published research.

Deep learning assessment of MRI offered a 24 percent higher sensitivity than radiologist interpretation for detecting lymph node metastasis in patients with colorectal cancer, according to a new meta-analysis.

While a new meta-analysis of the PI-RADS v2.1 criteria showed 96 percent and 88 percent sensitivity rates for PI-RADS category > 3 and PI-RADS category > 4 assessments respectively, researchers noted a high risk of bias in 29 percent of the reviewed studies.

While dynamic contrast enhanced breast MRI may help reduce biopsies for suspicious calcifications on mammograms, quantitative MRI features and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) may not provide additional diagnostic benefit in these cases, according to a new study.

Women who had an MRI prior to undergoing surgery for newly diagnosed breast cancer were 18 percent more likely to have a mastectomy, according to newly published research.
