Table 3. BI-RADS Edition 5 Breast MRI Screening Benchmarks.

Category Benchmark' Our Results
Cancer detection rate (per 1000 examinations) 20–30 22.1
Median size of invasive cancers (in mm) TBD 10.0
Percentage of node-negative invasive cancers >80% 61.5%
Percentage of minimal cancer* >50% 70.6% (12 of 17)
PPV2 (recommendation for biopsy) 15% 21.6% (19 of 88)
PPV3 (biopsy performed) 20%–50% 23.8% (19 of 80)

BI-RADS, Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; PPV, positive predictive value; TBD, to be determined.

*

Minimal cancer is invasive cancer ≤ 1 cm or ductal carcinoma in situ as per the American College of Radiology Edition 5 of the BI-RADS Atlas.
