Abstract
Objective: To investigate the value of X-ray mammography and 3.0 T MRI in the diagnosis of the small breast cancer. Materials and Methods: A total of 31 patients with small breast cancer confirmed by surgery and pathology were reviewed retrospectively, including digital X-ray mammography and 3.0 T MRI image features. Results: The diagnosis accuracy of small breast cancer by digital X-ray mammography was 64.5%(20/31), the diagnosis accuracy of small breast cancer by 3.0 T MRI was 90.3%(28/31), the diagnosis accuracy of small breast cancer by X-ray mammography and MRI was 96.7%(30/31), which was the highest(P0.05). Conclusion: There are certain characteristics for breast cancer on X-ray mammography and MRI, which can help make correct diagnosis for it.
