Ultrafast dynamic contrast-enhanced breast MRI with quantitative perfusion parameters in differentiating breast cancer: a study focusing on triple-negative and HER2 positive breast... by Guo Haodong, Zhu Jianguo, Dmytro Pylypenko, Dou Weiqiang, Su Sheng, Xu Jie, Li Haige

“…DISCO is a more recent DCE MRI technique that has achieved high spatial and temporal resolution and minimized image artifacts in cases like malignant focal liver lesions, enhanced focal breast lesions, and intracranial aneurysms.ObjectiveTo employ the method mentioned above to differentiate between triple-negative and non-triple-negative as well as HER2 positive and HER2 negative cancer lesions, and to assess the value of quantitative and semi-quantitative parameters in molecularly typing breast cancer.MethodsAll participants were scanned with a 3.0-T MR scanner (GE SIGNA™ Premier) using a 16-channel phased-array body coil. …”
