Representative transverse dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI scans in patients in the low and high tertiles of volume of enhancing parenchyma. Please note differences in high and low volumes of enhancing parenchyma are not visible to the naked eye on MRI scans. Left: Baseline MRI scan in a 50-year-old woman with a body mass index (BMI) of 23 and marked background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) who was stratified into the high tertile of volume of enhancing parenchyma. Cancer was detected with MRI in the second screening round. Right: Baseline MRI scan in a 51-year-old woman with a BMI of 24 and marked BPE who was stratified into the low tertile of volume of enhancing parenchyma. No cancer was detected during 6 years of follow-up.
