We believe that a short breast MR examination contains
the necessary information to allow an accurate
diagnosis. The purpose of this study is to determine the
technical feasibility of a short examination and to
obtain preliminary comparative data against the standard
examination. Nineteen participants were imaged on a 3.0T
scanner twice (standard and short). Results suggest that
the short breast MR examination is not only feasible but
has good agreement with the standard examination. This
study has demonstrated that high spatial and temporal
resolution data can be acquire in only 12minutes with
similar results to much longer MR examinations.
