Correlation between enhancement characteristics of MR mammography and capillary density of breast lesions.

•We correlate capillary density of breast lesions with MRM.•Capillary density correlates with tumor enhancement for all lesions.•However no such correlation exists for the malignant or benign groups separately.•Mean vessel number of lymphatic vessels do not correlate with tumor enhancement.These results might be of help in the workup of MR-guided breast biopsies.•These results might be of help in the workup of MR-guided breast biopsies.
