Synopsis

Keywords: Breast, BreastA total of 102 malignant and 60 benign non-mass enhancement lesions were analyzed. Two radiologists with 6 (Reader1) and 14 (Reader2) years of experience assigned the BI-RADS category and Kaiser score (KS). KS decreased biopsy or surgery by 20% for Reader 1 and 16.7% for Reader 2 compared with BI-RADS 4-5. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 87.2%, 78.3% and 84.0% for Reader 1, and 85.2%, 83.3% and 84.6% for Reader 2. Using cutoff threshold of KS>4, the specificity of modified KS increased by 6.7% for both readers, increasing the accuracy slightly by 1.7%-2.5% and keeping the same sensitivity.
