The purpose of this study is to characterize the length
scales of breast tissue using a stimulated echo
acquisition mode (STEAM) diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)
sequence with variable diffusion times. The evolution of
the radial diffusivity with diffusion time was used to
calculate the surface-to-volume ratio applying the Mitra
early time limit model. This analysis may provide an in
vivo non-invasive tool to probe diffusion lengths in
healthy and pathological breast tissue.
