title: An overview of interpretation strategies for breast MR imaging.
abstract: This article provides an overview of the different approaches to the interpretation of breast MR imaging. It provides an overview of the use of architectural features for breast MR imaging interpretation. It also includes a discussion of the various types of contrast kinetic data that are used for breast MR imaging interpretation. Approaches to combine architectural and kinetic features are also discussed. This article serves as an introduction to the other articles in this issue that discuss specific interpretation and strategies.
