Trial Outcomes & Findings for Comparing Restriction Spectrum Imaging (RSI) to Conventional and Abbreviated Breast MRI for Breast Cancer Screening (NCT NCT03495115)

NCT ID: NCT03495115

Last Updated: 2026-04-17

Results Overview

Comparison of participants with cancer in the DCE- MRI group compared to RSI group. Review of the examinations was performed by 3 expert breast imagers and number of cancers detected in each group were compared.

Participant Flow

Group1- Conventional Breast MRI Group 2 - Restriction spectrum imaging

Total 460 patients in each arm - 420 subjects were in screening population for high risk screening forming group 1 and 40 patients with BIRADS 4/5 getting a breast MRI prior to biopsy forming group 2. Both groups together were used for each arm which had the same population of 460 patients.

Measure
Screening Breast MRI Versus Restriction Spectrum Imaging
Patients presenting for breast MRI. Study includes screening population (420 MRI) and diagnostic MRI, BIRADS 4/5 patients prior to biopsy as the reason for breast MRI (40 MRI) to enrich the cancer population in the cohort making a total of 460 patients. These 460 patients first underwent conventional breast MRI and then underwent restriction spectrum imaging. The same 460 patients were part of both arms. We analyzed cancer detection rate with conventional breast MRI alone and compared it with cancer detection rate with restriction spectrum imaging alone.

n=460 Participants
420 patients who underwent screening MRI and 40 patients with BIRADS 4/5 based on the mammogram patients prior to biopsy as the reason for breast MRI to enrich the cancer population in the cohort making a total of 460 patients. These 460 patients first underwent conventional breast MRI and then underwent restriction spectrum imaging. The same 460 patients were part of both arms. We analyzed cancer detection rate with conventional breast MRI alone and compared it with cancer detection rate with restriction spectrum imaging alone.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 years

Population: Review of the examinations by 3 expert breast imagers showed that there was no evidence for cancer with RSI in the patients who had cancer.

Comparison of participants with cancer in the DCE- MRI group compared to RSI group. Review of the examinations was performed by 3 expert breast imagers and number of cancers detected in each group were compared.
