View larger version (97K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1A. —43-year-old woman with dense breasts and family history of breast cancer. Sagittal image from T1-weighted fat-saturated contrast-enhanced dynamic sequence performed without SENSE (sensitivity encoding) technology shows 2-cm lobulated enhancing mass in right breast at 11-o'clock position. MRI-guided localization and excisional biopsy revealed invasive ductal carcinoma.

View larger version (85K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1B. —43-year-old woman with dense breasts and family history of breast cancer. Axial reconstructed image shows lobulated mass at 11-o'clock position in right breast.

View larger version (138K): [in a new window]   Fig. 2A. —39-year-old woman with known carcinoma at 12-o'clock position of right breast. Breast MRI was performed to assess for multifocal or multicentric disease. Axial image of both breasts from T1-weighted fat-saturated contrast-enhanced dynamic sequence performed with SENSE (sensitivity encoding) technology shows 2.5-cm irregular enhancing mass, consistent with known invasive ductal carcinoma, at 12-o'clock aspect of right breast. No additional lesions were detected.

View larger version (116K): [in a new window]   Fig. 2B. —39-year-old woman with known carcinoma at 12-o'clock position of right breast. Breast MRI was performed to assess for multifocal or multicentric disease. Sagittal reconstructed image shows invasive ductal carcinoma at 12-o'clock position in right breast.

View larger version (142K): [in a new window]   Fig. 2C. —39-year-old woman with known carcinoma at 12-o'clock position of right breast. Breast MRI was performed to assess for multifocal or multicentric disease. High-resolution T1-weighted fat-saturated contrast-enhanced axial image of both breasts obtained using SENSE technique reveals spiculation and distortion of invasive ductal carcinoma at 12-o'clock position in right breast.

View larger version (76K): [in a new window]   Fig. 2D. —39-year-old woman with known carcinoma at 12-o'clock position of right breast. Breast MRI was performed to assess for multifocal or multicentric disease. Multiplanar reformatted image obtained in sagittal plane shows that there is no loss of resolution because of SENSE imaging and 1-mm3 voxel.

View larger version (144K): [in a new window]   Fig. 2E. —39-year-old woman with known carcinoma at 12-o'clock position of right breast. Breast MRI was performed to assess for multifocal or multicentric disease. Three-dimensional maximum-intensity-projection image shows vasculature leading to invasive carcinoma in right breast.
