Supine MR mammography using VIBE with parallel acquisition technique for the planning of breast-conserving surgery: clinical feasibility

Mitsuhiro Tozaki et al. Breast. 2006 Feb.

Abstract

Volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination (VIBE), which provides both high-spatial and high-temporal resolution images, is a useful sequence for determining the extent of breast cancer. The VIBE sequence in combination with the parallel acquisition technique allows for a single breath-hold evaluation of the breast. We evaluated the clinical feasibility of MR mammography in the supine oblique position (supine MRM) using this technique for planning breast conservation surgery. The accuracy of determination of the tumor extent with a deviation of less than 2 cm in length was 90% (36/40). Two cases showed a positive surgical margin (7.4%). Supine MRM is feasible for the planning of breast-conserving surgery.
