| Resumen en inglés | The distribution patterns of breast cancer using multiplanar contrast-enhanced breast magnetic resonance imaging (B-MRI) have been insufficiently addressed. This technical note describes and schematizes the distribution pattern of breast cancer with multiplanar B-MRI from a radiologists point of view. Multiplanar B-MRI can determine the distribution pattern of breast cancer in the three orthogonal axes (axial, sagittal, and coronal) and define the quadrant(s) of location. The distribution patterns are unifocal (UF), multifocal (MF), and multicentric (MC), which can be presented as multicentric uniquadrant (MCUQ) or multicentric multiquadrant (MCMQ). The radiologist must differentiate the distribution patterns of breast cancer and highlight the MC variants (MCUQ and MCMQ) to avoid confusing MF with MCUQ lesions. It is important to point out that each breast cancer pattern has a different prognosis and therapy recommendations. We present a digital template that can be used for reporting breast cancer distribution patterns as complementary information to the structured and standardized report of B-MRI, allowing a clear understanding and communication of findings for multidisciplinary teams and patients. The images and schematics in this technical note have been developed for educational purposes from a radiologists perspective. |
