Implementation of quantitative DCE-MRI and DW-MRI in the community setting has the potential to impact patient care for a large number of breast cancer patients. Quantitative DW-MRI and DCE-MRI was assessed in phantoms and normal subjects across three sites. In normal subject fibroglandular tissue, the average percent difference in ADC across sites for all subjects was 1.8%, while the average percent difference in the inversion recovery scan and B₁- corrected T₁ map were 14% and 7.3%, respectively. Overall, the results from the phantom and normal subject scans reveal that quantitative MRI can be successfully implemented in the community setting.
