This study introduces a new 3D dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) method for simultaneous bilateral breast imaging. This technique achieves high-resolution images with rapid contrast kinetics, improving breast cancer detection efficiency.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) is crucial for breast cancer diagnosis.
  • Simultaneous bilateral breast imaging can improve diagnostic efficiency.
  • Current methods may lack sufficient speed or resolution for comprehensive bilateral assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a simultaneous bilateral back-projection method for 3D DCE-MRI of the breasts.
  • To achieve high-resolution imaging with rapid temporal sampling for both breasts concurrently.
  • To assess the acceleration factor and diagnostic potential of the new method.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a simultaneous bilateral back-projection technique using double-side band modulation of RF slab excitation pulse.

  • Implemented undersampled slice phase-encoding and SENSE processing for aliasing removal.
  • Utilized interleaved radial acquisition with dynamic k-space-weighted image contrast (KWIC) temporal filtering for in-plane encoding.
  • Achieved 0.5 x 0.5 x 3.0 mm(3) image resolution and 15s effective temporal resolution.

    • Main Results:

    • The method achieved a 16x acceleration factor compared to conventional bilateral breast MRI scans.
    • Initial evaluation on 54 bilateral examinations identified 73 abnormalities in 45 patients.
    • Significant findings in the contralateral breast were noted in 11 cases, highlighting the value of bilateral assessment.

    Conclusions:

    • Simultaneous bilateral DCE-MRI is feasible, yielding high-resolution images and rapid contrast kinetic sampling.
    • The developed method significantly accelerates bilateral breast MRI acquisition.
    • This technique holds promise for enhancing the detection and characterization of breast abnormalities.
