Using ultrafast DCE MRI (UF-DCE)with compressed sensing reconstruction, detection rate and morphology of breast lesions on very early phase images within 1 minutes post contrast injection were compared to those on full diagnostic protocol (FDP). Almost all (95%) of the lesions reported on FDP were identified on UF-DCE. Size of the lesions were slightly smaller on UF-DCE but within-2mm difference in 96% of masses. Considering that wash-in kinetic information can be obtained by UF-DCE, the current data of equivalent lesion detection, size and morphology evaluation on UF-DCE support its application to abbreviated breast MRI protocol.
