The T1/T2 ratios obtained by qMRI provide measures that strongly correlate with histopathological findings. This quantitative information of tissue properties can provide basis for improving the specificity of diagnostic breast imaging and serve as a tool to assess response to treatment and contralateral breast involvement.
