Examples of breast incidental findings by BI-RADS category. a A 67-year-woman (Patient 2 in Table 3) underwent abdominal MRI for follow-up of a cystic lesion of the head of the pancreas. Three-dimensional dynamic axial volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination image after intravenous power injection of 0.05 mmol/kg of Gadobenate dimeglumine (Multihance) at 60 s. More than 50 % of the breast tissue was visible at abdominal MRI. A suspicious mass (white circle) was found in the outer quadrants of the right breast (BI-RADS RM 4) The US-guided core needle biopsy confirmed a B5b lesion (Invasive Ductal Carcinoma). In the upper right corner is highlighted the breast findings (white arrow). b A 58-year-woman (Patient 3 in Table 3) underwent abdominal MRI for liver evaluation. Three-dimensional dynamic axial volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination image after intravenous power injection of 0.025 mmol/kg of gadoxetic acid (Primovist) at 60 s. More than 50 % of the breast tissue was visible at abdominal MRI. A suspicious mass (white circle) was found in the outer quadrants of the right breast (BI-RADS RM 4). This patient had a previously known breast cancer in the outer quadrants of the right breast, corresponding to the breast finding detected on MR images. In the upper right corner is highlighted the breast findings (white arrow)
