The Diagnostic Accuracy of an Abbreviated vs. a Full MRI Breast Protocol in Detecting Breast Lobular Carcinoma: A Single-Center ROC Study by Francis Zarb, Deborah Mizzi, Paul Bezzina, Leanne Galea

“…However, the abbreviated protocol demonstrated significantly lower specificity (73.3% for Radiologist A and 53.5% for Radiologist B) compared to 100% specificity with the full protocol (<i>p</i> < 0.05). Lymph node involvement was correctly identified in 6–7 of 7 cases, though Radiologist A reported four false positives. …”
