With 7T MR imaging of ex vivo fresh unfixed breast and lymph specimens at a spatial resolution of 60 x 60 x 90m, we identified characteristic features of both benign and malignant lesions compared with a light microscopy standard. Ultra-high resolution MRI offers a new tool in the management of breast cancer in ways that include defining pathology, delineating tumor margins, and optimizing specimens for pathologic processing. This tool promotes a novel approach to radiology - pathology collaboration and demonstrates the capabilities of 7T MR.
