To investigate the contribution of chemical shift magnetic resonance imaging for assessment of the margins of solid breast masses by benefiting from India ink artifact. ⋯ Chemical shift subtraction can contribute to routine dynamic contrast subtraction in morphologic analysis particularly for the evaluation of margins of benign lesions in fatty breasts. It can also help in morphologic analysis of masses in dense breast.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of quantitative analysis of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) data in the detection of bowel inflammation in patients with Crohn's disease. ⋯ These preliminary results demonstrate that the quantitative analysis of DCE-MRI data is possible for the assessment of bowel inflammation in patients with Crohn's disease. Future studies need be performed on larger numbers of patients to correlate the severity and type of inflammation with kinetic parameters.
