The MRI Breast Imaging‐Reporting and Data System (BI‐RADS) lexicon recommends that a breast MRI protocol contain T2‐weighted and dynamic contrast‐enhanced (DCE) MRI sequences. The addition of diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) significantly improves diagnostic accuracy. This study aims to clarify which descriptors from DCE‐MRI, DWI, and T2‐weighted imaging are most strongly associated with a breast cancer diagnosis.
