Abstract :Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of dynamic contrast magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) in the diagnosis of breast cancer (BC) and to compare it with ultrasonography (USG). Materials and methods: In our study, 78 patients who underwent preoperative DCE-MRI and USG in our diagnosis center in TRNC between 2009 and 2022 and were diagnosed with BC histopathologically were investigated retrospectively.Findings obtained according to the BI-RADS classification in both methods, detection of BC, detection of tumor foci (TF) in multiple tumors (multicentric and multifocal tumors) (MT), correct diagnosis rates (CDR)s in invasive lobular cancers (ILC) and invasive ductal cancers (IDC) were compared and the results were evaluated statistically. Results: The mean age of the ILC and MT cases was found to be significantly lower than the IDC and unifocal tumor(UF) cases (p<0.05). CDRs in BC cases; 94.8% of DCE-MRI, 78.2% of USG (p<0.05), in the detection of TFs; 94.5% of DCE-MRI, 73.6% of USG (p<0.05), in detecting ILC cases; DCE-MRI 87.5%, USG 37.5% (p>0.05) in detecting IDC cases; it was determined as 95.7% in DCE-MRI and 80.2% in USG (p<0.05). Conclusion: DCE-MRI is a more effective diagnostic method than USG in the diagnosis of BC cases and TFs in MT cases.Keywords : Dinamik kontrastlı manyetik rezonans, meme kanseri, multipl tümör, ultrasonografi
