SOC: standard of care; BMRI: breast MRI; AB-MRI: abbreviated-breast MRI; BMRI: breast MRI; AB1: evaluation of maximum intensity projective images, including color-coded map; AB2: evaluation of dynamic contrast-enhanced images; AB3: evaluation of T2-weighted and fat-only images; AB4: non-blinded comparison performed only if AB3 was BI-RADS 4 and prior MRI exams were available; TN: true negative; FP: false positive; TP: true positive; NME: nonmass enhancement; FCC: fibrocystic changes; IDP: intraductal papilloma; ALH: atypical lobular hyperplasia; CCC: columnar cell change: DCIS: ductal carcinoma in situ; ADH: atypical ductal hyperplasia.

a

Lesions were not characterized if they were visualized only on maximum intensity projections.

b

Patient no. 70 underwent a second look for a circumscribed oval mass with dark internal septations. The second look determined that the mass was benign. A follow-up BMRI was performed 1 year later and had a benign result.

c

Patient no. 78 underwent a right mastectomy, showing atypia insufficient to meet DCIS criteria but morphologically similar to DCIS in the MR biopsy. She has undergone benign imaging follow -up with mammogram and ultrasound for the contralateral (left) breast.

d

Patient no. 125 underwent bilateral skin-sparing mastectomies with no evidence of atypia or carcinoma.
