Synopsis

Keywords: Perfusion, Contrast Mechanisms, breast tumor; Ultrafast Breast MRI

Motivation: Ultrafast (UF)-DCE MRI is a novel approach to obtain kinetic information very early after enhancement, which promises improved capabilities in differentiating malignant from benign lesions of breast cancers.

Goal(s): The early hemodynamic characteristics of lesions using breast UF-DCE MRI were systematically investigated to evaluate the value of the relevant kinetic parameters in the diagnosis of different grades of breast cancer.

Approach: The kinetic parameters of UF-DCE MRI were calculated to differentiate the different grades of breast cancer.

Results: The kinetic parameters of UF-DCE MRI can be used to distinguish high-grade from benign and low-grade breast cancer.

Impact: Breast ultrafast DCE MRI was used to explore the early hemodynamic characteristics of the lesions and evaluate the value of the relevant dynamic parameters in the diagnosis of different grades of breast cancer.
