Background: With the recent rise in mammography (MMG) screenings there has been an increase in the identification of microcalcifications without lump. Therefore, a vacuum-assisted needle biopsy under stereotactic guidance (ST-MTB) is frequently performed for diagnosis. However, ST-MTB is a highly invasive examination. In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of utilizing contrastenhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to differentiate between benign and malignant category 3 (C3) calcifications. Materials and Methods: One hundred and sixty-eight patients with microcalcifications underwent contrast-enhanced MRI prior to ST-MTB in our hospital. Their MRI scans were reviewed to determine whether the contrast-enhanced MRI findings were consistent. We calculated the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of contrast-enhanced MRI. Results: No malignancy was not found in the 51 of the 168 cases analyzed by MRI. The calculated sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of contrast-enhanced MRI were 84%, 82%, 58% and 95%, respectively. Conclusion: Contrast-enhanced MRI for Category 3 calcified lesions would be a useful diagnostic tool for identifying ST-MTB-indicated patients. With the recent rise in mammography (MMG) screenings, there has been an increase in the identification of microcalcifications. If identified by ultrasonography, the lesion can be diagnosed by ultrasound-guided biopsy. If the lesion cannot be identified by ultrasound, a vacuum-assisted needle biopsy under stereotactic guidance (Mammotome, ST-MTB) Correspondence to: Hirokazu Tanino, Department of Surgery, School of Medicine, Kitasato University, Kitasato, Minamiku, Sagamihara, Kanagawa, , Japan.

The usefulness of ST-MTB in diagnosing calcified lesions has previously been established in many studies (1, 2). In contrast to core needle biopsy, ST- MTB yields multiple specimens taken 360 degrees around the lesion with a single needle insertion. Since the apparatus allows for the collection of a large number of specimens, it is very useful for pathological diagnosis (3, 4). However, facilities where the ST-MTB procedure is available are limited. Moreover, the examination is invasive and, thus, the indication for the procedure should be carefully considered. It has been reported that contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has high diagnostic ability for mass lesions with sensitivity and specificity of 99% and 89%, respectively (5). Contrast-enhanced MRI is also effective in determining the extent of disease, as well as detecting multiple lesions and contralateral breast cancers (6-9). As for the microcalcified lesions, however, no consensus has yet been made regarding the usefulness of contrast-enhanced MRI. In particular, when dealing with category 3 (C3) calcifications, which are often benign, the decision to perform ST-MTB is more difficult to make. In the present study, we retrospectively analyzed the scans of patients with C3 calcifications who underwent contrast-enhanced MRI prior to an ST-MTB procedure in order to investigate the usefulness of contrastenhanced MRI in determining the indication(s) for ST-MTB. Materials and Methods Subjects. One hundred and sixty-eight patients with microcalcifications, whose lesions were initially detected and classified as C3 by MMG screening but not visible by ultrasonography, underwent contrast-enhanced MRI of the breast prior to ST-MTB from September 2005 to June Patients ranged between 25 and 76 years of age (median=46 years). Methods. We investigated if contrast-enhanced MRI could identify the calcified lesions in the early and delayed phases of enhancement. The lesions on the MRI scans that appeared to correlate with the calcifications identified by MMG were then categorized according to their form and distribution using the Breast Imaging Reporting /2014 $
2 Table I. Classification in distribution and form of contrast MRI with BI-RADS-MRI lesion notation. Mass Non-mass-like enchancement Focal Linear Ductal Segmental Regional Multiple regions Diffuse Enhancement in a confined area, less than 25% of quadrant Enhancement in a line that may not conform to a duct Enhancement in a line that may have branching, conforming to a duct Triangular region of enhancement, apex pointing to nipple, suggesting a duct or its branches Enhancement in a large volume of tissue not conforming to a ductal distribution, geographic Enhancement in at least two large volumes of tissue not conforming to a ductal distribution, multiple geographic areas, patchy areas of enhancement Enhancement distributed uniformly throughout the breast and Data System BI-RADS-MRI (1st edition) lexicon classification (10) (Table I). The findings were divided into two categories: Mass and Non-mass-like enhancement. The Non-mass-like enhancements were further classified as focal, linear, ductal, segmental, regional, multiple regions, or diffuse ; conversely, the lesions were classified as none if they were not visible by contrast-enhanced MRI. The descriptions and representative images of each lesion type are shown in Figure 1. The judgment criteria of C3 calcifications were amorphous/clustered, punctate/clustered, punctate/segmental, or pleomorphic/regional in accordance with the Mammography guideline (edit. III) (11). MRIs were performed on the patients in the prone position. Bilateral breast images were captured 2-3 times on a gadoliniumenhanced dynamic MRI machine (GE Medical Systems, Milwaukee, Wis) with a dedicated bilateral breast coil. ST-MTB was performed with 11- or 14-gauge needles and the collected biopsy specimens were examined by MMG to confirm the presence of calcified tissue. Based on the shapes and distribution of calcifications identified on the contrast-enhanced MRI scans, we postulated that the calcification was benign if it was classified as either diffuse or none. Conversely, the calcification was considered malignant if it was mass, focal, segmental or linear. Using this categorization, we determined the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of contrast-enhanced MRI in differentiating between benign and malignant lesions. Results Histopathological diagnosis. The results of the histopathological diagnosis are shown in Table II. One hundred and thirty cases (78%) were found to be benign. Among the benign cases, atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) was found in 16 cases. Two cases were suspicious for malignancy (later confirmed as malignant by surgery in both cases) and 36 (22%) cases were malignant. Of the malignant cases, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) was found in 34 cases, lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) was identified in 1 case and invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) was found in 1 case. Calcification characteristics and pathological findings. Calcification characteristics and pathological findings are Table II. Pathological diagnosis (n=168). n % Benign Suspicion of malignancy 2 1 Malignant Ductal carcinoma in situ Lobular carcinoma in situ Invasive ductal carcinoma shown in Table III. Twenty nine (28%) of the 104 amorphous/clustered calcifications and 9 (18%) of the 49 punctate/clustered calcifications were found to be malignant. Fourteen punctate/segmental calcifications and 1 pleomorphic/regional calcification had no malignant appearance. Classification by form and distribution of contrast MRI and pathological findings. The form and distribution of contrast MRI and pathological findings are shown in Table IV. Fiftyone of the 168 cases were classified as none with no visible calcified lesions observed by the MRI scan. None of the 51 none cases was found to be malignant. For 117 of the cases, the MRI findings appeared to correlate with the mammographic calcifications. We did not observe in this study ductal, regional or multiple regions. Two (60%) of the three mass cases, 16 (59%) of the 25 focal cases, 6 (58%) of the 11 segmental cases and 6 (10%) of the 62 diffuse cases were found to be malignant. Out of the 55 cases with focal, segmental or linear lesions, that were judged as malignant by MRI, 32 cases were diagnosed to be malignant by pathological evaluation. On the other hand, in the 113 cases with diffuse or none lesions, 6750

Thus, the sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and accuracy of contrast-enhanced MRI in differentiating between benign and malignant C3 calcifications were 84%, 82%, 58%, 95% and 83%, respectively. Discussion Contrast-enhanced MRI has been shown to excel in diagnosing mass lesions (5), while as an approach- is also useful in defining the extent of disease and in detecting multiple lesions and contralateral breast cancers (6-9). 6751

These studies, however, did not assess lesions using the BI-RADS-MRI lexicon classification. On the other hand, studies that assessed lesions based on the BI-RADS- MRI lexicon classification reported that addition of contrastenhanced MRI for evaluation of microcalcified lesions resulted in improved diagnostic ability and that MRI may be a valuable tool for determining ST-MTB indications. Uematsu et al. evaluated MRI performance in 100 patients with microcalcifications who received contrast-enhanced MRI examinations prior to undergoing stereotactic vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (SVAB). They showed that the PPV and NPV of contrast-enhanced MRI were 86% and 97%, respectively, and concluded that contrast-enhanced MRI could be recommended as an assessment approach for calcified lesions prior to SVAB (17). Akita et al. conducted a similar study in 50 patients with mammographic microcalcifications for whom they performed contrast-enhanced MRI prior to SVAB and evaluated the diagnostic value of the MRI. The trial yielded MRI sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 85%, 100%, and 96%, respectively, suggesting that contrastenhanced MRI has diagnostic value and may potentially change the indications for SVAB (18). Our study addressed the use of contrast-enhanced MRI in defining ST-MTB indications in patients with C3 calcifications who underwent contrast-enhanced MRI followed by ST-MTB. Malignancy was observed in approximately 60% of cases with mass, focal or segmental lesions detected by contrast-enhanced MRI, which suggests that tissue biopsy, including ST-MTB, should be performed in such cases. Conversely, ST-MTB could be omitted in the 51 none cases of our study with no visible calcifications on MRI scans due to unidentified malignancies. In other words, using contrastenhanced MRI our study showed that ST-MTB was unnecessary for 51 (30%) of the 168 cases and we, therefore, Table IV.

Segmental calcifications surmise that contrast-enhanced MRI would be a very valuable examination tool for excluding patients who do not have to undergo an ST-MTB procedure. Although cases with diffuse calcifications were mostly mastopathy, malignancy was identified in 10 percent (n=6) of them, suggesting that the calcified lesions in the diffuse findings were not necessarily due to mastopathy. The differentiation between mastopathy and DCIS, based solely on MRI findings, is very difficult and poses, thus, a question to be addressed in the future. In Japan, an ST-MTB procedure costs 66,000 yen, whereas a contrast-enhanced MRI examination costs 40,
5 Kikuchi et al: MRI for Microcalcification on Mammography yen; thus, 26,000 yen could be saved on medical care costs per patient. Not only could the decision to forgo an ST-MTB procedure lead to a reduction in the cost of medical care but it can also save the patient from experiencing additional anxiety and undergoing invasive procedures. In the present study, malignancy was found in 22% of all C3 calcified lesions examined. This malignancy rate was higher compared to those of previous reports ( %) (12, 13). This could be attributed to the fact that patients with highly suggestive Category 3 lesions of malignancy are referred to our hospital from outside sources where ST-MTB is unavailable. Moreover, it may be because our physicians select patients to undergo ST-MTB based on findings from additional modalities, such as ultrasonography and MRI. BI-RADS is a lexicon proposed by the American College of Radiology (ACR). It intends to provide standardization of both diagnostic terminology and reporting systems. Its assessment categories of MRI imaging, however, are not very clearly specified. Moreover, with regards to calcification findings by MMG, although the mammography lexicon offers broad criteria for the categorization of calcifications, as shown in Table V, there is a lack of specific categorization based on the shape and distribution of calcifications. We hope that future improvements to BI-RADS in the clarification of criteria for categorization of MRI imaging and calcifications based on shape and distribution will translate to improved ability to select patients for tissue biopsy, such as ST-MTB. Conclusion Contrast-enhanced MRI for Category 3 calcified lesions would be a useful diagnostic tool for identifying ST-MTB-indicated patients. In particular, ST-MTB could potentially be avoided in patients with no visible calcifications on MRI scans.
