Efficacy of single voxel 1H MR spectroscopic imaging at 3T for the differentiation of benign and malign breast lesions.

Purpose: The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of 1H Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) in differentiating breast lesions.

Materials And Methods: Single voxel 1H Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (1H-MRS) was performed with 3T magnet in 45 women. The choline cut off point was set semi-quantitavely.

Multiparametric breast MRI with 3T: Effectivity of combination of contrast enhanced MRI, DWI and 1H single voxel spectroscopy in differentiation of Breast tumors.

Objectives: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of dynamic contrast enhanced breast MRI (DCE-MRI) combined with diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and 1H single-voxel magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1HMRS) in differentiating malignant from benign breast lesions.

Methods: One hundred twenty-nine patients with 138 lesions were included in the study. Multiparametric MRI of the breast was performed with a 3T unit.
