Abstract Objective To investigate whether background parenchymal enhancement ( BPE) may influence the sensitivity of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (DCE-MR) imaging in breast cancer detection. Materials and methods A total of 180 consecutive women with 194 breast cancers underwent MR i...
