I've read that rapid washoutresults in the mri is a cancer indicator. i am a category 4 with curve iii or rapid washout& mod enhacement. need clarity?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

MRI breasts?: Yes rapid wash out can be suggestive of either a premalignant lesion or malignant lesion. It can also be a false positive. Mri's are not 100% accurate. Hope this helps.
