Research progress of MRI in breast cancer with breast edema
Breast cancer is a serious threat to women's life and health.Breast edema is a common complication of breast cancer.In recent years,studies have shown that breast edema can reflect the severity and prognosis of breast cancer patients.MRI is sensitive to water molecules.Compared with other imaging methods,it has greater advantages in showing edema,which has attracted the attention of scholars at home and abroad.This article reviews the research on breast cancer breast edema based on MRI in recent years,summarizing the current status of studies on mechanisms of edema occurrence,methods for delineating edema regions,and clinical application values.It identifies limitations in current research,such as unclear delineation of edema borders on MRI and lack of studies on the biological metabolism of breast edema.Proposed solutions include advanced imaging techniques like image subtraction,MRS,and radiomics to address these limitations.This study aims to provide insights into the clinical application of breast edema for qualitative assessment of breast tumors,evaluation of disease progression,and treatment effectiveness.Additionally,it proposes new research directions for precise localization of breast edema and investigation into its biological metabolism.
