Direct MR galactography combined with MR imaging may provide more diagnostic information than conventional galactography in patients with
pathologic nipple discharge because it can show both ductal morphology and the extent of disease before surgery.

Based on the results obtained in our cohort, we propose that this relatively low sensitivity of MR imaging in women at increased familial risk is due to the fact that these cancers may exhibit unusual imaging features also in breast MR imaging

Abstract

Lesions with a mammographic appearance of a soft-tissue mass or pleomorphic, linear, or linear-branching calcifications, as well as mammographically occult (ie, depicted at MR only) lesions, were more likely to exhibit plateau or washout enhancement characteristics than were lesions with amorphous or indistinct calcifications and might represent more aggressive disease.
