Abstract

Objective To comparative study the diagnostic value of mammography and MRI to breast cancer; to improve the diagnostic accuracy of breast cancer. Methods 47 case with breast cancer confirmed by surgery and pathology were collected, and the preoperative image data of mammography and MRI were retrospectively analyzed. Results The diagnostic accuracy of breast cancer by mammography was 83%(39/47); The diagnostic accuracy of breast cancer by MRI was 91% (43/47); the diagnostic accuracy of breast cancer combined mammography with MRI was 98% (46/47) which was statistically higher than single mammography or MRI (P<0.05). Conclusions The diagnostic accuracy of breast cancer by MRI were higher than mammography. Combined mammography with MRI can significantly improve the diagnosis accuracy of breast cancer and have great significance in the screening and treatment of breast cancer.
