Clinical application of gadoterate meglumine in abbreviated dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the breast with ultrafast imaging: a single-center retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is increasing interest in high temporal resolution imaging techniques in breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for breast cancer detection. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical application of gadoterate meglumine (Dotarem) in abbreviated dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) of the breast for cancer detection, focusing on quantitative kinetic analysis with ultrafast DCE-MRI.

Methods

Ultrafast acquisition is a high temporal resolution (3.5-4.6 seconds) imaging technique used during the first minute following contrast injection to obtain three-dimensional (3D) whole breast images. All ultrafast DCE-MRIs were motion-corrected by a non-rigid registration method. A retrospective study was performed for 49 patients with 60 malignant lesions a
