## Abstract ## Purpose: To quantify B~1~ transmission‐field inhomogeneity in breast imaging of normal volunteers at 3T using 3D T~1~‐weighted spoiled gradient echo and to assess the resulting errors in enhancement ratio (ER) measured in dynamic contrast‐enhanced MRI (DCE‐MRI) studies of the breast

## Abstract ## Purpose: To evaluate a single‐pass fast spoiled gradient echo (FSPGR) two‐point Dixon sequence and a gradient echo sequence with spectral fat suppression in their performance at 3 T for fat suppressed contrast‐enhanced bilateral breast imaging. ## Materials and Methods: Twenty pat
A multiparametric computer-aided diagnosis scheme that combines information from T1-weighted dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI and T2-weighted MRI was investigated using a database of 110 malignant and 86 benign breast lesions. Automatic lesion segmentation was performed, and three categories of l
## Abstract A major potential confound in axial 3D dynamic contrast‐enhanced magnetic resonance imaging studies is the blood inflow effect; therefore, the choice of slice location for arterial input function measurement within the imaging volume must be considered carefully. The objective of this s
## Abstract ## Purpose: To prospectively evaluate whether dose reduction and the application of a prebolus technique can effectively alleviate signal saturation effects in T1 dynamic contrast enhanced (T1‐DCE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data in breast tumors and lead to increased diagnostic
