*, significantly different; #, determined as (true positive + true negative)/all. BI-RADS, Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System; DCE-MRI, dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging; PPV, positive predictive value; NPV, negative predictive value; CI confidence interval; DAc, diagnostic accuracy; BPE, background parenchymal enhancement.
