title: Imaging features of breast malignancy: breast ultrasound and MR imaging correlation.
abstract: Recent advances in breast imaging, including volumetric breast ultrasound and breast magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, now provide multiplanar capability for detailed morphologic assessment of breast malignancies. This article describes the imaging findings of common breast cancers, utilizing volumetric breast ultrasound with MR imaging correlation. Knowledge of the characteristic appearances of breast malignancy can facilitate the diagnosis and management of breast masses, particularly when obscured by excessive breast density on mammography examinations.
