Development of Quantitative Microvascular Breast MRI

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to develop a non-invasive predictor of malignancy in breast tumors through the design and preliminary validation of a new form of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The hypothesis is that the spatial distribution of microvasculature around a solid breast lesion is specific for malignancy and can be reliably measured at high resolution by a completely non-invasive, non-contrast enhanced MRI method.
