Our findings suggest that preoperative axial + reconstructed coronal MR images exhibit good diagnostic performance for ALN metastasis in patients with early ductal breast cancer. In addition, peritumoral high signal intensity on T2-weighted images of the primary tumor can be used as a predictor of ALN metastasis in these patients.
