In the present study, results of the receiver operating characteristic
analyses showed a slightly higher overall reader diagnostic performance
rating with digital mammography, compared with screen-film mammography,
although the difference was not statistically significant.

The results of the present study confirm the conclusions of a previous
investigation that the high T1 relaxivity of gadobenate dimeglumine
compared with that of gadopentetate dimeglumine is beneficial for
contrast-enhanced MR mammography.

Benign versus Malignant Breast Masses: Optical Differentiation with
US-guided Optical Imaging Reconstruction

We believe that our technique, which incorporates optical tomography and
US localization, has demonstrated great potential to noninvasively
distinguish malignant from benign breast masses and thereby potentially
reduce the number of benign biopsy results.
