NCT01156987

Brief Summary

Today's medical imaging methods have insufficient specificity for reliable differentiation between benign and malignant breast lesions in patients. Pathologic evaluation is currently the only way to obtain a definitive diagnosis. This research will use a novel method of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), Sweep Imaging with Fourier Transform (SWIFT), at a very high magnetic field (4 Tesla) to distinguish malignant from benign breast lesions. This research will reveal whether the SWIFT sequence bears new capabilities in medical imaging for breast cancer diagnosis.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Lesions

    Number of lesions detected

    at time of read by two radiologiests, compared to biopsy within 7 days.

Study Arms (2)

Healthy Volunteers

EXPERIMENTAL

Five healthy women will be screened for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) contraindications, and then undergo contrast injection, and SWIFT acquisition.

Device: Magnetic resonance imaging

Breast Cancer Patients

EXPERIMENTAL

40 breast cancer patients who have suspected breast lesion that will be biopsied will be screened for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) contraindications, and then undergo contrast injection and SWIFT acquisition.

Device: Magnetic resonance imaging

Interventions

Patients and healthy volunteers will be first screened for MRI contraindications. The SWIFT MRI workflow will be performed as follows: * an IV line is placed by nurse, * patient is placed in the 4 T MRI scanner at CMRR, * initial scout images and manual linear shims are adjusted, * Pre-contrast SWIFT T1 weighted images and T1 map are obtained, * continuous SWIFT acquisition begins immediately before contrast injection, * contrast injection, * continuous SWIFT acquisition continues for 12 min after contrast, * late enhancement images may also be obtained. 10 and 30 patients will be scanned in the first and second year, respectively. Thresholds will be set for prospective analysis. SWIFT-DCE diagnostic performance will be compared to prior FLASH-DCE methods.
