Obesity is a known risk factor for developing breast
cancer. So far, there has not been a comprehensive study
comparing the lipid composition in the breast for
patients with benign tissue and cancer. Part of the
reason this remains a challenge is the lack of methods
to non-invasively investigate lipid composition in
breast tissue. We use a multiple gradient echo
acquisition to rapidly acquire lipid spectral maps in
the breast. These data suggest that for post-menopausal
women, lower monounsaturated and higher saturated fatty
acids may be related to breast cancer development.
