Clinical TrialFeasibility of 7 Tesla breast magnetic resonance imaging determination of intrinsic sensitivity and high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging, diffusion-weighted imaging, and (1)H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy of breast cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy.
To evaluate the feasibility of 7T breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by determining the intrinsic sensitivity gain compared with 3T in healthy volunteers and to explore clinical application of 7T MRI in breast cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). ⋯ Dedicated 7T breast MRI is technically feasible, can provide more SNR than at 3T, and has diagnostic potential.
