Breast MRI without a contrast injection has the potential to increase accessibility and compliance to the method in women who are recommended to undergo annual MRI to screen for breast cancer. Steady-state diffusion weighted methods provide robust image quality in comparison to conventional diffusion weighted methods which can suffer from variable image quality due to distortion, blurring and low-resolution. Double Echo Steady State (DESS) acquisition with a cones k-space trajectory is investigated for non-contrast enhanced breast MRI in 30 women undergoing clinically indicated breast MRIs.
