Female breasts undergo massive changes to transition
from a rudimentary structure into a milk secreting organ
and back to the pre-pregnant state. We studied the
feasibility of imaging the phenotypic changes within
mouse mammary glands using high field MRI. The results
will assist in developing tools to utilize mouse models
in better understanding breast development and disease
in women.
