Index lesions (N = 167) PEM, % (N/N) Breast MRI, % (N/N)
DCIS (N = 30/167) 90.0 (27/30) 83.0 (25/30)
Invasive cancer (N = 137/167) 93.0 (128/137) 95.0 (130/137)
T1a (N = 4) 100.0 (4/4) 75.0 (3/4)
T1b (N = 21) 85.7 (18/21) 90.5 (19/21)
T1c (N = 57) 93.0 (53/57) 94.7 (54/57)
T2 (N = 52) 96.2 (50/52) 98.1 (51/52)
T3 (N = 3) 100.0 (3/3) 100.0 (3/3)

DCIS ductal carcinoma in situ, T1a tumor >1 mm but ≤5 mm, T1b tumor >5 mm but ≤10 mm, T1c tumor >10 mm but ≤20 mm, T2 tumor >20 mm but ≤50 mm, T3 tumor >50 mm
