• Non-mass enhancement is a common morphological feature of non-invasive breast cancer (DCIS) in MRI. Differentiation between potentially malignant and benign changes may be very challenging. • Since clustered ring enhancement and segmental distribution are both significant predictors of malignancy, the awareness of this important finding, combined with high-quality image interpretation skills, may improve the tumor detection rate. • The combination of clustered ring enhancement and segmental distribution increases the positive predictive value for malignancy, which may be relevant for clinical practice.
