Perirenal Edema as a potential hint towards primary hypertension-Preliminary findings in MRI breast cancer staging.

Purpose: To demonstrate our primary findings, indicating perirenal edema as a first imaging sign towards primary hypertension.

Methods: Out of 3190 consecutive MR-Mammography (MRM) examinations, 777 were performed with an additional body array coil. Incidentally, "perirenal edema" could be linked to a patient history of hypertension.

Focal transitional mastitis in MR-Mammography: Preliminary findings.

Purpose: During clinical routine, we retrospectively discovered diagnostic criteria for "focal mastitis" in MR-Mammography (MRM). The aim of this study was to prospectively evaluate these criteria.

Methods: 1975 consecutive patients were examined between 01/2010 and 12/2011.
