Fig. 1B.Middle-aged woman with a biopsy-proven invasive lobular
carcinoma. Reformatted axial contrast-enhanced 3DSSMT image shows enhancing
mass in A near blood vessel and close to pectoralis muscle (solid
arrow). Another enhancing focus in mid breast had benign dynamic
enhancing characteristics and was thought to be benign (open
arrow).
Fig. 1C.Middle-aged woman with a biopsy-proven invasive lobular
carcinoma. Axial T1-weighted noncontrast MR image shows fiducial marker over
expected location of mass in A (solid arrow).
Fig. 2B.Photographs of model showing technique of sonography/MRI
correlation in an open MRI coil. Fiducial marker is removed, and model's skin
is marked with "X" over expected location of mass.
Fig. 2C.Photographs of model showing technique of sonography/MRI
correlation in an open MRI coil. Sonography is performed through open MRI coil
in axial plane. In this case, transducer is oriented along axial plane,
although it is possible to scan along coronal plane.
Fig. 1A.Middle-aged woman with a biopsy-proven invasive lobular
carcinoma. Contrast-enhanced image from 3D acquisition spectral-spatial
radiofrequency pulse on-resonance magnetization transfer (3DSSMT) shows 8-mm
enhancing mass in upper left breast near blood vessel (solid arrow).
Invasive lobular carcinoma is seen in lower left breast (open arrow).
Upper breast mass showed rapid initial enhancement and late washout (not
shown), resulting in differential diagnosis of lymph node or second
carcinoma.
