Negative pressure fixation device to reduce motion artifacts on contrast-enhanced MRI of the breast: a clinical feasibility study.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of a negative pressure fixation device on misregistration artifacts in contrast-enhanced (CE) MR subtraction images.

Materials And Methods: Nine patients, two of which had been previously diagnosed with breast cancer, were examined with T2-weighted (T2-w) turbo spin-echo (TSE) and three-dimensional (3D) spoiled gradient-recalled echo (SPGR) CE dynamic MRI. Baselines images were subtracted from the dynamic images.
