Background: Axillary nodes dissection (AND) is an important risk factor for the appearance of breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL). The anatomy and pathophysiology leading to the development of BCRL after AND are not completely understood. Despite the existence of lymphedema models after AND, none of them were able to create lymphedemas without additional chemical inflammatory drugs or auxiliary physical techniques (radiotherapy).

- The study aimed to assess temperature changes in the uterus of pregnant miniature pigs during MR imaging at 3 T by using fiber-optic temperature sensors placed in different locations.
- Three imaging regimens were compared: low-SAR, normal SAR, and high-SAR, with results showing increasing temperature rises in that order.
- The study concluded that while temperature increases varied by imaging protocol, third trimester temperatures were not significantly different from those in the first or second trimesters, with cumulative increases in high-SAR imaging reaching up to 2.5°C.
