3.0 Tesla vs 1.5 Tesla breast magnetic resonance imaging in newly diagnosed breast cancer patients

Figure 2 1. 5Tesla axial T1-weighted fat-suppressed contrast enhanced subtraction images in 53-year-old woman with newly diagnosed left breast infiltrating ductal carcinoma show a conglomerate of masses with signal void due to biopsy marker (arrow) in the left superior breast (A), and a mammographically occult rim-enhancing lesion (arrow) 2 cm inferior to the index cancer confirmed as an additional infiltrating ductal carcinoma (B). Note the lower contrast and spatial resolution evident on these images compared to the 3.0Tesla system.
