Brief summary
this study aims To evaluate the diagnostic performance of Ultrasound (US) in correlation with Dynamic Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for the assessment, characterization, and evaluation of non-mass breast lesions. The study will investigate whether DCE-MRI improves lesions detected by characterization and diagnostic accuracy when interpreted according to the ACR BIRADS v 2025 and so may help optimize breast imaging evaluation and support clinical decision making
Detailed description
* Background: Non-mass breast lesions detected by ultrasound may present diagnostic challenges because of their variable imaging appearances and overlap between benign and malignant findings. * Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of Ultrasound (US) in correlation with Dynamic Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for the assessment, characterization, and evaluation of non-mass breast lesions according to ACR BIRADS v 2025. * Methods: This observational study will include patients with non-mass breast lesions identified on breast ultrasound or mammography. Participants will undergo breast MRI examination including dynamic contrast-enhanced sequences. Imaging findings will be assessed according to ACR BI-RADS 2025 criteria . * Outcome Measures: The primary outcome will be the diagnostic performance of DCE-MRI, including sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and overall accuracy in differentiating benign from malignant lesions. * Significance: The study aims to determine whether multiparametric DCE-MRI can improve characterization of ultrasound-detected non-mass breast lesions and support more accurate clinical decision-making.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* • Female patients of any age presenting with non-mass breast lesions detected on MRI or conventional imaging. * Patients who have both MRI and targeted Ultrasound examinations.
Exclusion criteria
* • Patients presenting with typical distinct "mass" lesions (3D space-occupying lesions) without any non-mass components. * Patients with absolute contraindications to MRI (e.g., cardiac pacemakers, severe claustrophobia, non-compatible metallic implants). * Patients with contraindications to intravenous Gadolinium contrast media (e.g., severe renal impairment/failure, pregnancy, known history of severe allergic reaction to gadolinium).
