title: Sensitivity of contrast-enhanced MR imaging of the breast.
abstract: High sensitivity is a major advantage of contrast-enhanced MR imaging when it is applied as an additional tool in difficult cases. Several factors, such as technique, guidelines, patient preselection, and varying levels of verification influence sensitivity and specificity of contrast-enhanced MR imaging. This article explores these issues, and reviews data based on the authors' own experience and on the published literature.
