Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: High background parenchymal enhancement and amount of fibroglandular tissue on breast magnetic resonance imaging are related to increased breast cancer risk. This study sought to compare these parameters between BRCA mutation carriers and non-carriers and to evaluate the potential implications of the findings for short term follow-up. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Magnetic resonance imaging studies of known...
