We sought factors associated with false-negative results in the diagnosis of invasive breast cancer via non-contrast breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using fused high b-value diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and unenhanced T1-weighted images (T1WI). Between 2018 and 2019, 316 consecutive women (mean age, 54.6 years) with invasive breast cancer who underwent preoperative breast MRI, including fused high b-value DWI and unenhanced T1WI, were retrospectively evaluated. Malignancy confidence ratings of the most suspicious breast lesions evident on fused DWI were derived by two radiologists using a 6-point Likert-type scale. Both clinicopathological and imaging features were analyzed. Multivariate regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with false-negative DWI results in the diagnosis of invasive breast cancer. Of the 316 breast cancers, fused DWI yielded 289 (91.5%) true-positive and 27 (8.5%) false-negative results. Multivariate analysis showed that small tumor size (≤ 1 cm) (odds ratio [OR], 5.95; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.11, 16.81; p = 0.001), presence of calcifications in the tumor (OR, 3.41; 95% CI, 1.27, 9.15; p = 0.015), and a moderate/marked background diffusion signal (ORs, 4.23 and 19.18; 95% CI, 1.31, 13.67 and 6.51, 56.46; p = 0.016 and p < 0.001, respectively) were significantly associated with false-negative results. In subgroup analysis of 141 screening-detected cancers, a marked background diffusion signal (OR, 7.94; 95% CI, 2.30, 27.35; p = 0.001) remained significantly associated with false-negative results in the multivariate analysis. In addition to histopathological features, a higher background diffusion signal was associated with false-negative results in the diagnosis of invasive breast cancer via non-contrast MRI using fused high b-value DWI and unenhanced T1WI. • Subcentimeter tumors and presence of calcifications in the tumor are associated with false-negative diffusion-weighted imaging results in the diagnosis of invasive breast cancer. • A higher degree of background diffusion signal may lead to false-negative interpretation of diffusion-weighted imaging in patients with invasive breast cancer.
