Figure 2.

A 65-year-old female with invasive ductal carcinoma (high-stroma group). A post-contrast, fat-suppressed, coronal T 1 weighted image shows an irregular-shaped mass with an irregular margin and homogeneous enhancement (a). In the STIR image, the mass showed low intensity (left side-panel). Its signal intensity was 143.2 and the L/M ratio was 4.05 (b). In color-coded dynamic enhanced MRI (left side-panel), the mass showed a predominantly persistent pattern (blue: persistent pattern; green: plateau pattern). In scatter plotting graph (right side-panel), the mass also showed a predominantly persistent pattern (washout: 9.6%; plateau: 25.42%; persistent: 64.97%) (c). In the ADC map, the ADC value of the mass was 0.543 × 10−3 mm2 (d). In the photomicrograph, the mass was revealed to have a rich fibrous component (e). ADC, apparent diffusion coefficient; STIR, short-tau inversion-recovery.
