  		Fig. 1D. —72-year-old woman with breast cancer. Kinetic color map of mammographically occult left breast lesion shows this lesion also has malignant enhancement curves with central yellow regions and outer rim of reds and pinks.

  		Fig. 3A. —Standard (A) and magnified (B) mammograms obtained in 57-year-old woman with heterogeneously dense breasts show palpable mass in right outer breast. Mediolateral oblique (A) and craniocaudal (B) views from mammograms fail to reveal discrete mass.

  		Fig. 3D. —Standard (A) and magnified (B) mammograms obtained in 57-year-old woman with heterogeneously dense breasts show palpable mass in right outer breast. Targeted sonogram confirms finding on MR image (not shown): second 1.5-cm irregular mass with typical malignant enhancement curves in upper inner quadrant. This lesion and lesion shown in C were subsequently biopsied under sonographic guidance. Patient then required mastectomy for two infiltrating ductal carcinomas and surrounding ductal carcinoma in situ.
