“…From another systematic review by Liang et al . [ 33 ], it can be concluded that MRI shows superiority over 18F-FDG PET/CT in assessing nodal status with fewer false positive and false negative results. In addition, a recent prospective study by Bruckmann et al .…”

“…Breast MRI is widely used in the preoperative evaluation of ALN status in breast cancer patients, showing superior performance than some other techniques such as ultrasound or positron emission tomography / computed tomography (PET‐CT) . While breast MRI is useful to diagnose ALN status via visual assessment, it suffers from some limitations.…”

“…Breast MRI is widely used in the preoperative evaluation of ALN status in breast cancer patients, showing superior performance than some other techniques such as ultrasound or positron emission tomography / computed tomography (PET-CT). 21,22 While breast MRI is useful to diagnose ALN status via visual assessment, it suffers from some limitations. In most cases of breast MR scanning, the breast surface coil is mainly centered on the breast region, [23][24][25] but some of the positive ALNs may locate at the border of the coil and some may even be out of the imaging FOV.…”

“…The 'gold standard' for diagnosing axillary LN involvement is a pathological examination of aspiration cytology, a sentinel LN biopsy (SLNB), and an axillary LN dissection (ALND); however, these are invasive methods. In contrast, the utility of noninvasive 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) for the diagnosis of axillary LN metastasis in patients with breast cancer has been described by several research groups [3][4][5][6][7][8][9], one of which achieved a relatively low pooled sensitivity value of 60% and a quite high pooled specificity value of 97% [8].…”
