Zusammenfassung
Purpose: Sensitivity of breast CE-MRI is 0.90, whereas specificity is a mere 0.72. Obtaining dynamic contrast enhancement parameters at morphologic detail may lead to improved diagnostic accuracy. However, high spatial resolution imaging is time consuming while fast dynamic imaging has poor spatial resolution which might lead to a lower specificity in small lesions. 7T has shown to have enough SNR to combine both: fast acquisitions and an ultra high resolution. With this case we show a prove of principle. Materials and Methods: A 33 years old female, with a suspicious mass in the right breast detected on 3T MRI,…
