Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic utility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for breast cancer detection, focusing specifically on Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) 5 lesions.The investigated morphological dynamic characteristics these lesions using MRI identify features associated with malignancy.Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted scans performed between January 2019 December 2023.The included 120 patients BI-RADS who underwent biopsy or surgical excision.MRI images were evaluated parenchymal patterns, T2-weighted signal characteristics, lesion size, location, enhancement kinetics, a standardized protocol.Histopathological results correlated findings.Results: Among lesions, 109 malignant 11 benign.Malignant predominantly exhibited heterogeneous patterns (69.7%) hypointense signals (56%).Most (82.3%) showed washout kinetics.Benign other hand, hyperintense (63.6%) (54.5%).Due small number benign statistical comparisons groups limited. Conclusion:Breast MRI, particularly plays critical role in detection characterization cancer.The detailed assessment by aids accurate diagnosis treatment planning.Understanding findings will enhance clinical decision-making reduce unnecessary interventions suspicious lesions.
