Excludes women with a prior breast cancer (n = 34): MRI and mammography (n = 5); MRI only (n = 24); mammography only (n = 5). DCIS = ductal carcinoma in situ; MRI = magnetic resonance imaging.

MRI and mammography refers to an abnormal result both on MRI and mammography; MRI only refers to an abnormal result on MRI only; mammography only refers to an abnormal result on mammography only.

Includes cancers treated with neoadjuvant therapy (n = 8 MRI and mammography; n = 1 MRI only).
