A feasibility study of filter exchange imaging (FEXI) for detection of apparent exchange rate (AXR) was performed on breast cancer cell lines and on a breast tumour patient in vivo. Results suggest that different breast cancer types could be distinguished with FEXI based on their AXR values. The AXR could be determined for the tumour ROI, while in normal tissue the AXR was outside the experimental range. Low SNR did not allow voxel based data analysis. Further optimization of FEXI will be required before FEXI can be evaluated in a larger group of breast cancer patients.
