Synopsis

Early detection and accurate characterization can reduce significantly the death rates of breast cancer patients. Kaiser score (KS) demonstrates robust and wonderful performance in the assessment of breast lesions. Nevertheless, this scoring system lacks quantitative parameters, which may lead to false negatives, especially for breast cancers exhibiting atypical morphological features. In this study, the quantitative value from Synthetic MRI was added to the KS assessment to improve the differentiation of the malignant and benign breast lesions.
