Abstract

Introduction: In this retrospective study, we compared transverse short tau inversion recovery (STIR), transverse diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map and first post-contrast fat-saturated fast low-angle shot (FLASH) 3D T1 with pathology results in terms of their accuracy in estimating breast carcinoma size.
