The combined strategy of DCE-MRI and DWI shows promising diagnosis efficiency in breast cancer. This paper is to explore the diagnostic value of combined DCE- MRI and DWI based on histogram-metrical in discriminating breast masses. The results indicate that combined DWI and DCE-MRI based on histogram-metrical analysis have superior efficacy than either DCE-MRI or DWI alone in discriminating breast masses; moreover, the parameters based on histogram-metrical can offer additional features of tumor heterogeneity.
