Brief summary

Benefit of MRI in pathological nipple discharge.

Interventions

DEVICEMRI

The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will be performed before the two-step surgery: a ductal-MRI sequence (highly weighted sagittal T2) - followed by sequence with axial plane, T2, T1, injection in dynamic sequences, subtractions.

MeasureTime frameDescription
The Negative Predictive Value (PVV) of MRIAt baselineThe negative predictive value (NPV) of MRI in patients with pathological nipple discharge with normal mammography / ultrasound. The VPN is defined by the ratio: number of patients with a normal histological examination / number of patients with a normal MRI.

Outcome results

Primary

The Negative Predictive Value (PVV) of MRI

The negative predictive value (NPV) of MRI in patients with pathological nipple discharge with normal mammography / ultrasound. The VPN is defined by the ratio: number of patients with a normal histological examination / number of patients with a normal MRI.

Time frame: At baseline

Population: MRI could not performed as expected (technical problems with the machine - unrelated to the participants or the study). thus MRI data could not be collected, and as such, primary outcome could not be assessed.
