A Study of BI-RADS 4 and 5 Lesions that are Malignant and Increased Stiffness on MR Elastography Compared to Lesions that are Benign

Overview

Información sobre este estudio

The purpose of this study is to gather measurements of mechanical properties of BI-RADS 4 and 5 lesions in order to test the effectiveness of MR elastography (MRE) in differentiating benign versus malignant disease. We will also test the mechanical properties of bilateral breast tissue on MRE to find any correlation with breast density on mammograms.
