Abstract
In a retrospective study the value of MR imaging of the breast in infl ammatory changes was evaluated. The signal enhancement of 8 patients w ith histopathologically verified inflammatory carcinomas and 9 patient s with global mastitis as well as local inflamed lesions was analysed. Neither signal behaviour nor signal/time relation were suitable to di fferentiate between malignant and benign changes. In conclusion inflam matory changes of the female breast are not indicated to be examined w ith MR imaging.
