ABSTRACT
Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Breast

  • The goals for breast cancer detection with MR imaging of the breast include the detection of early cancer such as small invasive carcinoma (< 2 cm) and ductal carcinoma in situ.
  • The minimal technical requirements of breast MR imaging include assessment of morphology and kinetics.
  • The clinical indications for MR imaging of the breast are as follows:
  • Staging – disease extent, invasion deep to fascia (chest wall involvement - stage 3B)
  • Monitoring response in patients who undergo neoadjuvant chemotherapy
  • Axillary adenocarcinoma unknown primary
  • Residual disease post lumpectomy
  • Recurrence
  • Contralateral breast screening
  • Screening high-risk
There are challenges in MR imaging of the breast which will be addressed

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a sophisticated bio-imaging tool that provides data about function and can serve as an adjunct to improve MRI specificity. While contrast enhanced-MRI provides detailed spatial resolution, excellent sensitivity, and depiction of anatomy of tumor, MRS can provide a complementary biochemical image
