Assessing tumor extent on contrast-enhanced spectral mammography versus full-field digital mammography and ultrasound
2017, Clinical ImagingCitation Excerpt :The role of imaging in breast cancer staging has evolved rapidly, and radiologic findings are now incorporated into clinical staging [6]. Once a diagnosis of cancer has been established, determining extent of disease by imaging is important for accurate preoperative staging and treatment planning [5,6]. Currently, preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the best tool for determining the extent of disease for locoregional staging and for evaluation of the contralateral breast before treatment [7–13].

2015, Ultrasound in Medicine and BiologyHow to measure breast cancer tumoral size at MR imaging?
2013, European Journal of RadiologyCitation Excerpt :As initially shown by McGhan et al., our study confirms that size overestimation on MRI is more frequent for tumors larger than 2 cm, regardless of imaging sequence [27]. As demonstrated first by Allen et al., the magnitude of the difference depends upon the size of the tumor being measured, larger tumors yielding larger differences [2]. Some authors have attempted to minimize this effect with automated volume analysis, but observed a linear relationship between the size of lesion based on 3D manual segmentation and the volume underestimation by automated volume analysis [33].
Prediction of breast tumor size by mammography and sonography-A breast screen experience
2007, BreastCitation Excerpt :Six of these made a direct comparison between the predictive power of the mammographic and sonographic measurement. Four8–11 found sonographic measurement to be a better predictor of pre-surgical tumor size; one found mammography to be superior12 while one reported that there was similar precision between the two imaging modalities.13 One study had a very small sample size with a mean tumor size of 33 mm.8
