We evaluated new parameters of breast ultrafast dynamic contrast-enhanced (UF-DCE) MRI using compressed sensing technique: the maximum slope (MS), time to enhancement (TTE) and the time interval between arterial and venous visualization (AVI). MS was higher, and TTE and AVI were shorter in malignant lesions compared to benign lesions, although there were discrepancies among these parameters and BI-RADS based delayed phase patterns. There seemed to be some relevance between these parameters and histopathologic findings.
