Difficulties in the preoperative assessment of tumor size and extent result in a positive
pathologic margin in up to 70% of patients undergoing breast conservation surgery …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the utility of contrast material-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR)
imaging of the breast for localization of the site of primary breast carcinoma in patients with …

This study was designed to investigate the accuracy of contrast-enhanced MR imaging in
the locoregional staging of symptomatic primary breast cancer and to determine the impact …

PURPOSE: To investigate the role of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in the examination
of patients after excisional biopsy of breast carcinoma before re-excision. MATERIALS AND …

OBJECTIVE. Postsurgical contrast enhancement resulting from inflammatory changes at the
site of surgery limits the accuracy of MR imaging of the breast in diagnosing residual breast …

The main goal of preoperative breast imaging evaluation in the patient with known cancer is
to assess accurately the extent of disease. This information then can be used to guide …

In this study we analyze MR-negative malignant lesions of the breast. A total of 204 patients
with palpable and/or mammographic lesions were studied. The MR technique consisted of …

Unenhanced scans, with any sequence, often give limited and unreliable information when
trying to distinguish tumor recurrence from scarring. Dynamic scanning very soon after the …

OBJECTIVE. The aims of this study were to assess the diagnostic accuracy of MRI in
evaluating patients for residual cancer, identify the prevalence of multicentric or multifocal …

An investigative study was undertaken to determine the potential for a new magnetic
resonance (MR) imaging technique, RODEO (rotating delivery of excitation off resonance) …
