Can 18F-FDG PET improve the evaluation of suspicious breast lesions on MRI?

Highlights • Prone 18F-FDG PET can improve the evaluation of suspicious breast lesions on MRI. • 18F-FDG PET's results were better for mass lesions higher than 10 mm. • 18F-FDG PET has the potential to identify more aggressive breast tumors.
