## Abstract ## Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a combination of dynamic contrast‐enhanced MR imaging (DCE‐MRI) and diffusion‐weighted MR imaging (DWI) in characterization of enhanced mass on breast MR imaging and to find the strongest discriminators between carcinoma and benignancy.

## Abstract Texture analysis was applied to high‐resolution, contrast‐enhanced (CE) images of the breast to provide a method of lesion discrimination. Significant differences were seen between benign and malignant lesions for a number of textural features, including entropy and sum entropy. Using l
## Abstract Recent studies have demonstrated the potential of dynamic contrast‐enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) describing pulmonary perfusion. However, breathing motion, susceptibility artifacts, and a low signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) make automatic pixel‐by‐pixel analysis difficult. In th
## Abstract ## Purpose: To develop and evaluate a computerized segmentation method for breast MRI (BMRI) mass‐lesions. ## Materials and Methods: A computerized segmentation algorithm was developed to segment mass‐like‐lesions on breast MRI. The segmentation algorithm involved: (i) interactive le
## Abstract ## Purpose To investigate the feasibility of combined dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in evaluating breast lesions. ## Methods Nine patients with positive mammograms scheduled for either biopsy or mastectomy were examined on a 1.5‐T MR scanne
## Abstract The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the use of dynamic gadopentetate dimeglumine‐enhanced, breath‐hold spoiled gradient‐recalled (SPGR) MR imaging with cardiac compensation (CMON) compared to spin‐echo MR imaging in patients with thoracic malignancy. We retrospectively reviewed MR
