Slice‐Wise Quality Assessment of High b Value Breast DWI via Deep Learning‐Based Artifact Detection

BACKGROUND: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) can support lesion detection and characterization in breast MRI. Therefore, DWI is increasingly being incorporated into breast MRI protocols to address some of the shortcomings of routine clinical breast MRI. However, especially high b...

Adapted foundation models for breast MRI triaging in contrast-enhanced and non-contrast-enhanced protocols

Abstract Objectives To evaluate a DINOv2-based medical slice transformer (MST) for triaging abbreviated breast MRI by ruling out examinations with suspicious findings that are immediately actionable (Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System [BI-RADS] ≥ 4) across contrast-enhanced...
