Breast Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRA is becoming a standard examination tool for small lesion detection. This study presents an initial volunteer investigation of nonenhanced breast MRA using the Fresh Blood Imaging (FBI) and Time-Spatial Labeling Inversion Pulse (time-SLIP) sequences. FBI provides clear depiction of all vessels and time-SLIP provides time-course imaging of selective vessels branching from the mammary arteries.
