With 7T MR imaging of ex vivo fresh unfixed breast and
lymph specimens at a spatial resolution of 60 x 60 x
90m, we identified characteristic features of both
benign and malignant lesions compared with a light
microscopy standard. Ultra-high resolution MRI offers a
new tool in the management of breast cancer in ways that
include defining pathology, delineating tumor margins,
and optimizing specimens for pathologic processing. This
tool promotes a novel approach to radiology - pathology
collaboration and demonstrates the capabilities of 7T
MR.
