Imaging Modality | 1 st Author | Year Pub. | Patients {lesions} | Objectives | Key Results |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
DBT | Fang, Q. | 2011 | 125 {189} | Explore the optical and physiologic properties of normal and lesion-bearing breasts | Bulk tissue THb (n = 138 normal breasts) 19.2 μM and sO2 0.73. Cancer THb (n = 26) significantly greater than fibroglandular tissue of the same breast (P=.0062). Solid benign lesions (n=17) and cysts (n = 8) significantly lower THb than cancers (P = .025 and P = .0033, respectively). |
CEMRI- | Mastanduno, MA. | 2015 | 30 | Differentiation benign vs. malignant abnormalities, operating characteristics | THb and TOI*: sig differences cancer vs. benign, combined MRI & TOI: AUC 0.95, sens 95 %, spec 89 %, PPV 95 %, NPV 89 % |
CEMRI, MRI (T2, DWI) | Feng, J. | 2017 | 24 | Operating characteristics: (T2,DWI) MRI-DOT vs. CEMRI-DOT vs. CEMRI | CEMRI: AUC 0.81, sens 94 %, spec 63 %, acc 88 % T2-DWI T2-MRI DOT: AUC 0.95, sens 94 %, spec 100 %, acc 96 %, CEMRI-DOT: AUC .94, sens 88 %, spec 88 %, acc 88 % |
