Fig. 20From: Multimodality approach to the nipple-areolar complex: a pictorial review and diagnostic algorithmEctasia and MRI. Screening MRI in an asymptomatic high-risk 38-year woman 6 months after lactation. a Unenhanced axial and sagittal T1-weighted images. b Contrast-enhanced axial and sagittal T1-weighted MRI (subtracted image obtained 120 s after contrast injection). Note the tubular structures in the retroareolar region of the left breast with a segmental distribution; proteinaceous material causes increased signal intensity on T1-weighted sequences, but not intraductal enhancementBack to article page
