    This study evaluated whether virtual dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI could support BI-RADS assessment compared with multiparametric DCE-MRI.

  • 2

    The retrospective study included 540 women scanned at one 3-T scanner, with 76 cases in the final holdout test set.

  • 3

    A secondary test set included 47 examinations acquired with a matching protocol on a different 3-T scanner.

  • 4

    Eligible MRI protocols included T2-weighted fat-saturated imaging, diffusion-weighted imaging at multiple b-values, and a five-timepoint postcontrast T1-weighted series.

    The study also assessed whether the previously described virtual DCE approach transferred to data from a scanner absent from model training.
