Abstract:Purpose?The aim was to evaluate a minimum echo time (minTE) protocol for breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with breast lesions compared to a standard TE (nTE) time protocol.
Methods?Breasts of 144 women were examined with a 1.5 Tesla MRI scanner. Additionally to the standard gradient-echo sequence with nTE (4.8?ms), a variant with minimum TE (1.2?ms) was used in an interleaved fashion which leads to a better temporal resolution and should reduce the scan time by approximately 50?%.
