METHODS: Between 2015 and 2016, 152 women with 103 breast malignancies, who underwent 3-T breast MRI and DBT within 2 months' time, were enrolled in this study. Breast composition/fibroglandular tissue and findings on DBT (two readers) and MRI were reported using BI-RADS 5th edition. Digital mammography images were analysed for breast percent density (PD) using the Libra software tool. RESULTS: A majority of women had dense breasts as categorised by breast composition c (heterogeneously dense) (68%) and d (extremely dense) (15%). The mean PD was 44% (range, 18-89%) and the correlation between breast composition and PD was r = 0.6. The diagnostic performance of MRI was significantly higher compared to DBT for one reader as described by the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (p = 0.004) and of borderline significance for the other reader (p = 0.052). CONCLUSIONS: MRI had higher diagnostic performance than DBT in a dense breast population in the tertiary setting. KEY POINTS: • MRI had higher diagnostic performance than DBT in a dense breast population • Diagnostic performance of DBT was comparable to MRI in women with fatty breasts • MRI was superior to DBT in preoperative breast cancer size assessment.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":2.70805020110221,"endowment":2.70805020110221,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"29460074","pmcid":"PMC6028836","openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2793940783","authors":[],"funders":[{"funder_name":"Lund University","grant_id":"","title":null}],"total_grants":1,"fwci":0.9581,"citation_percentile":0.75240272,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2019,"count":4},{"year":2020,"count":2},{"year":2022,"count":4},{"year":2024,"count":2},{"year":2025,"count":2}],"oa_status":"hybrid","license":"cc-by","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00330-017-5297-7.pdf","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00330-017-5297-7.pdf","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00330-017-5297-7/fulltext.html","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"http://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00330-017-5297-7.pdf","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00330-017-5297-7","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29460074","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"http://hdl.handle.net/2433/233089","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/6028836","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://lup.lub.lu.se/record/0796596d-c77d-4248-9a24-cbd50badca63","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://europepmc.org/articles/PMC6028836","host_type":"Europe_PMC"},{"url":"https://europepmc.org/articles/PMC6028836?pdf=render","host_type":"Europe_PMC"}],"fields_of_study":["Digital Radiography and Breast Imaging","Breast Implant and Reconstruction","Medical Imaging Techniques and Applications","Adult","Aged","Aged, 80 and over","Breast","Breast Density","Breast Neoplasms","Female","Humans","Magnetic Resonance Imaging","Mammography","Middle Aged","ROC Curve","Sensitivity and Specificity","Software"],"mesh_terms":["Breast Density","Adult","Aged","Aged, 80 and over","Breast","Breast Neoplasms","Female","Humans","Magnetic Resonance Imaging","Mammography","Middle Aged","ROC Curve","Sensitivity and Specificity","Software"],"keywords":["Medicine","Breast density","Neuroradiology","Breast MRI","Digital Breast Tomosynthesis","Radiology","Breast imaging","Breast ultrasound","Mammography","Tomosynthesis","Interventional radiology","Breast cancer","Ultrasound","Population","Medical physics","Internal medicine","Neurology","Magnetic Resonance Imaging","Diagnostic Techniques And Procedures"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":0,"sdg_label":"Good health and well-being"}],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-08-12T05:57:18.303688Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
