title: Potential MRI interpretation model: differentiation of benign from malignant breast masses.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Our objective was to increase the accuracy of breast MRI using a semiquantitative analysis of typical MRI features and their diagnostic potential. The prevalence of recently reported MRI signs of breast lesions were analyzed and compared with other well-known signs.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  New MRI features, especially from T2-weighted images, are promising for more reliable and accurate interpretation of breast lesions. Prospective studies of these findings are required to define cut-off values and test clinical practicality.
