GRASP DCE-MRI (Golden-angle Radial Sparse Parallel) DCE-MRI allows simultaneous high spatial and temporal resolution. The purpose of this study was to evaluate breast lesion conspicuity between GRASP and conventional Cartesian sampling DCE-MRI. Readers assessed conspicuity of 48 biopsy-proven lesions on conventional DCE-MRI and subsequent GRASP biopsy. No significant difference was found between the two techniques for all lesions (p=0.21, p=0.19, p=0.46), masses (p=1.0, p=0.48, p=0.7) or NME (p=0.18,p=0.08, p=0.64). There was strong reader agreement in evaluating conspicuity (ICC=0.735). GRASP DCE-MRI is comparable to conventional DCE-MRI imaging for masses and NME with diagnostic-quality high spatial resolution and flexibility of temporal resolution.
