Clinically Practical Magnetic Resonance Protocol for Improved Specificity in Breast Cancer Diagnosis

Abstract

The purpose of this postdoctoral training award is for the PI to be trained in every aspect of conducting a research breast cancer study in a clinical setting. This study aims to improve specificity of breast cancer detection by using a combined MRI/MRS protocol. In the past year, the third year of this award, the PI has performed the following tasks independently: renewing IRB, recruiting and consenting patients, MRI/MRS data acquisition, and data analysis. A total of 35 patients were recruited for the study in the past year. The results from these 35 subjects and previously recruited subjects show 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity of the combined MRI/MRS protocol.
