Synthetic MRI is able to obtain various image comtrasts and quantitative parameters.These parameters( T1, T2, and PD values) directly reflect the composition of the tissue.The objective of this study was to assess Synthetic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ability for differentiation between breast adenosis and breast cancer.Our results show that show that Synthetic MRI is a useful tool that can be utilised to discriminate between breast adenosis and breast cancer.
Figure.
1 Synthetic MR, DCE-MRI and DWI images of a 42-year-old woman with Invasive cancer in the left breast. the synthetic
images obtained 11 minutes after contrast agent injection. A T2WI (Synthetic)，the position of the ROI is
outlined with a red circle; B T1 map (Synthetic); C T2 map (Synthetic); D
proton density map (Synthetic); E DCE-MRI (2 min
31s after contrast injection); F ADC map (DWI).
