High resolution ex vivo imaging can improve
understanding of cancer and guide evaluation of surgical
specimens. The rationale for ex vivo MRI is strengthened
if there is a strong correlation between ex vivo and in
vivo images. Here we evaluate MRI at 9.4 Tesla of a
mouse model (n = 7) of breast cancer. For ex vivo
experiments, excised skin and glands were wrapped around
a sponge to maintain the in vivo spatial configuration.
There was a strong correlation (0.73 < r < 0.86, p <
0.0001) between the in vivo and ex vivo ADCs and T2s.
