High spectral and spatial resolution (HiSS) MR imaging
provides excellent diagnostic images of breast cancer
even without the use of contrast agent. We report on a
fast implementation of HiSS MRI using parallel imaging
at 3T to achieve clinically feasible imaging times in <
2 mm
3
voxels,
with full bilateral coverage. Non-contrast HiSS MRI can
be used to obtain images of lesions without artifacts
resulting from contrast administration. In addition,
spectral information obtained with HiSS MRI can be used
to improve detection of small amounts of glandular
tissue and improve breast density measurements in risk
assessment studies.
