Declarations
:
: The local Ethics Committee of Kanton of Zürich (Kantonale Ethikkommission) approved this retrospective study. As a general informed consent at University Hospital Zürich was introduced in 2016, all female patients above the age of 18 undergoing breast MRI examination from September 2013 to October 2015, not explicitly refusing the use of their data for scientific purposes, were considered for this study. MRI examinations of patients, who had follow-up examinations after 2016 and did not agree for scientific use of their data, were excluded. The local Ethics Committee of Kanton Zürich waived the informed consent for patients having the MRI examination before 2016 and not having the follow-up examination after 2016, as it would be disproportionally difficult to obtain it.
