Abstract

Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women and the leading cause of death. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) are advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedures that are widely used in the diagnostic and treatment evaluation of breast cancer. This review article describes the characteristics of new MRI methods and reviews recent findings on breast cancer diagnosis. This review study was performed on the literature sourced from scientific citation websites such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and Web of Science until July 2021. All relevant works published on the mentioned scientific citation websites were investigated. Because of the propensity of malignancies to limit diffusion, DWI can improve MRI diagnostic specificity. Diffusion tensor imaging gives additional information about diffusion directionality and anisotropy over traditional DWI. Recent findings showed that DWI and DTI and their characteristics may facilitate earlier and more accurate diagnosis, followed by better treatment. Overall, with the development of instruments and novel MRI modalities, it may be possible to diagnose breast cancer more effectively in the early stages. © 2022 by the authors.
