Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate potential clinical efficacy of a novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) approach, MR fingerprinting, capable of providing quantitative measures of important tissue properties, which could provide important insights into normal breast tissue. This new MRI sequence will be added to the screening breast Dynamic Contrast Enhanced (DCE) MRI for high risk normal patients.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • English-speaking patients
  • Ages 18 to 99 years old
  • Scheduled to undergo a screening breast MRI study
  • Capable and willing to provide signed informed consent

Exclusion Criteria

  • Claustrophobia
  • Presence of pacemaker, intracranial aneurysm clip, bladder stimulator, cochlear implant or metal near eyes or near pelvis that would create excessive imaging artifact
  • Known hypersensitivity to contrast agent or to any component of contrast agent refractory to standard medications (antihistamines, steroids)
  • Impaired kidney function (serum creatinine level > 1.8 mg/dl or a glomerular filtration rate 1 hour)
  • Pregnancy or lactating female
  • Previous history of mastectomy or lumpectomy
  • Breast enhancements (i.e. implants)
