Kinetic variable most useful for identifying malignant MRI-detected breast lesions identified

Researchers found that the 'washout' curve type is most predictive of malignancy, with 45.7% of lesions with this pattern being malignant compared to 20% with a plateau and 13.3% with persistent enhancement. The study suggests that kinetic features in breast MRI assessment can help determine whether a lesion needs biopsying.
