In clinical breast MRI, the dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) T1-weighted fat-suppressed scan plays an essential role for lesion detection and characterization. In order to improve temporal resolution of the dynamic scan, view-sharing techniques are typically used along with Dixon-based water-fat separation methods. However, there are several limitations and drawbacks of using Dixon-based techniques. In this work, we proposed to use chemical fat suppression with view-sharing to improve the temporal resolution of DCE breast MRI.
