Résumé

The implementation of digital breast tomosynthesis has increased the detection of radial scar (RS). Managing this finding may be experienced as a clinical dilemma in daily practice. Breast Contrast-Enhanced MRI (CE-BMR) is a known modality in case of problem-solving tool for mammographic abnormalities. However, the data about AD and CE-BMR are scant. The purpose was to estimate the benefit of CE-BMR in the setting of RS detected mammographically through a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature. A search of MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were conducted in 2022. Based on the PRISMA guidelines, an analysis was performed. The primary endpoint was the correlation between CE-BMR findings and definite outcome for RS (pure RS versus RS associated with atypia or malignancy). Three studies were available. The negative predictive value (NPV) was 100% for each. The high NPV could allow for deferral of a biopsy in favor of a short-interval imaging follow-up in the setting of a negative CE-BMR.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
The implementation of digital breast tomosynthesis has increased the detection of radial scar (RS). Managing this finding may be experienced as a clinical dilemma in daily practice. Breast Contrast-Enhanced MRI (CE-BMR) is a known modality in case of problem-solving tool for mammographic abnormalities. However, the data about AD and CE-BMR are scant.
OBJECTIVE OBJECTIVE
The purpose was to estimate the benefit of CE-BMR in the setting of RS detected mammographically through a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature.
METHODS METHODS
A search of MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were conducted in 2022. Based on the PRISMA guidelines, an analysis was performed. The primary endpoint was the correlation between CE-BMR findings and definite outcome for RS (pure RS versus RS associated with atypia or malignancy).
RESULTS RESULTS
Three studies were available. The negative predictive value (NPV) was 100% for each.
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
The high NPV could allow for deferral of a biopsy in favor of a short-interval imaging follow-up in the setting of a negative CE-BMR.
