Preliminary study demonstrates higher native T1 relaxation times in malignant breast tumors, suggesting native T1 mapping aids lesion differentiation on MRI.
Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women ,early detection and timely treatment are the key to imprve survival rate. In this preliminary study, we aimed to differentiation lesions using native T1mapping. The mean T1 relaxation time was higher in the malignant group compared to the benign group by both observers (p<0.05). Results indicated that native T1mapping could be used to differentiate benign and malignant lesions, which might be promising in clinical applications. However, the combination of T1mapping and DWI dose not improve the AUC statistically significantly.
