Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the usefulness of 3D reconstruction images in breast MRI by performing a quantitative comparative analysis in patients diagnosed with DCIS. On a 3.0T MR scanner, subtraction images and 3D reconstruction images were obtained from 20 patients histologically diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). The findings from the quantitative image analysis are the following: The 3D reconstruction images showed higher SNR at the lesion area, ductal area, and fat area that of the subtraction image. In addition, the CNR were not significantly different in the lesion area itself between the subtraction images and 3D reconstruction images.
