Diffusion-weighted imaging versus dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI: a new horizon for characterisation of suspicious breast lesions

Highlights: • Diffusion Tensor Imaging may aid discrimination between benign and malignant breast lesions. • Fiber tractography can discriminate benign and malignant breast lesions. • DTI and FT can be a feasible addition to breast MRI improving its sensitivity. To investigate the value of new diffusion-weighted imaging applications in the characterisation of suspicious breast lesions with emphasis on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and fibre tractography (FT).
