| خلاصه مقاله | Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common cancer type of women in many countries. The survival rate of this cancer is increased by early diagnosis using imaging methods and decision for appropriate treatment. For accurate diagnosis of breast cancer, the imaging method should provide high sensitivity and specificity to early detection of the lesions and avoid false positive results, respectively. Different imaging modalities such as X-ray mammography, ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and hybrid positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) have been used for diagnosis of breast cancer. The aim of this study is review the role of PET/MRI as a novel bimodal imaging method for detection and differentiation of breast cancer lesions. Materials and methods: We reviewed the related published articles in Science Direct, PubMed and Google Scholar using keywords such as breast cancer, PET/MRI, sensitivity, specificity and diagnosis. Totally 29 articles were found and 11 of them with the most relevance to our topic were reviewed. Results: In hybrid PET/MRI, MRI provides high contrast morphological images of soft tissue. Based on the diagnostic purpose, different techniques of MRI such as diffusion or perfusion weighted imaging and dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE)-MRI are used for cancer imaging. On the other hand, PET prepares important information about metabolism of the tumor cells and status of the receptors. Radiation dose in PET/MRI is lower than PET/CT as mainly used imaging method for evaluation of the metastases. Conclusion: Combination of MRI with a high sensitivity for detection of breast lesions and PET with a high specificity for differentiation of malignant and benign lesions introduces PET/MRI as a good candidate for high accuracy diagnosis of breast cancer. |
