Abstract:Background
Chest computed tomography (CT) is routinely performed to evaluate intrathoracic metastasis in patients with breast cancer, but radiation exposure and its potential carcinogenic risks are major drawbacks. Furthermore, pulmonary imaging by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is limited by low proton density, rapid signal decay, and sensitivity to respiratory and cardiac motions in lung tissue. Recently, a respiratory gating spiral three-dimensional (3D) ultrashort echo time (UTE) volume inte… Show more
