Non-Contrast Breast MRI Diagnosis and Risk Stratification Using DWI-Generated Synthetic Contrast Enhancement
12,000 participantsStarted 2026-06
Plain-language summary
This study is conducted under the ethics-approved project titled "Artificial Intelligence Solution for Simplifying the Diagnostic Workflow of Breast MRI''.The goal of this observational study is to develop an integrated breast MRI system that uses diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) to create synthetic contrast-enhanced images. This system aims to diagnose and screen for breast cancer without the need for contrast agents, while using a generated risk score to perform imaging-based triage and risk stratification.
Participants will include people aged 18 and older who require a breast MRI either for evaluation of a suspicious finding or for high-risk screening.
This study seeks to answer two main questions:
* Can synthetic contrast-enhanced images generated from DWI match real contrast-enhanced images in their ability to distinguish benign from malignant breast lesions?
* Can the risk score derived from DWI-based synthetic images enable imaging-level risk stratification, allowing people at lower risk to avoid contrast agent injection? Researchers will compare the quality of synthetic images against real contrast-enhanced images and will recruit radiologists to assess how well these images perform for diagnostic and screening tasks. MRI data from participants undergoing breast MRI will be used to train, validate, and test this integrated system.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
