A method for classifying a lesion in an MRI includes acquiring a
pre-contrast MR image. A magnetic contrast agent is administered. A set
of post-contrast MR images are acquired. The acquired pre-contrast and
post-contrast MR images are displayed. A manually entered value is
received for a size of a lesion manually identified within the
pre-contrast and post-contrast MR images. A manually entered value for an
absorption/washout profile is received of the manually identified lesion.
A risk of malignancy for the manually identified lesion is automatically
determined based on the received size value and absorption/washout
profile.
