In this study, we intended to investigate the relationship between ADC heterogeneity of DCIS lesions and DCIS lesioxn morphology, histological grade and BIRADS classification using 3T DW breast MRI. Increasing heterogeneity was observed with increasing DCIS histological grade and increasing BIRADS, but not reaching significance level, was observed based on our results. This study was mainly limited in the small numbers of DCIS lesions, so statistical power has to be further strengthened in future studies with larger sample size.
