Abstract
The technical requirements for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the breasts are challenging because high temporal and high spatial resolution are necessary. This article describes the necessary equipment and pulse sequences for performing a high-quality study. Although imaging at 3-Tesla (T) has a higher signal-to-noise ratio, the protocol needs to be modified from the 1.5-T system to provide optimal imaging. The article presents the requirements for performing breast MRI and discusses techniques to ensure high-quality examinations on 1.5-T and 3-T systems. Copyright 2010 Elsevier Inc.
