title: [Contrast medium assisted dynamic MR-mammography after diagnostic and therapeutic interventions on the breast].
abstract: In a retrospective study, the authors evaluated the signal behavior of 150 patients after intervention in the breast (40 fine-needle biopsies, 10 core biopsies, 50 open biopsies, 50 tumor-ectomies with additional irradiation therapy). The MR imaging was performed on 1.5-Tesla whole-body scanners using T1-WI GRE sequences in 2D FLASH technique before and 5 times after i.v. application of 0.1 mmol gadopentetate-dimeglumine per kg body weight. There was no signal enhancement after fine-needle biopsy. Hematoma due to core biopsy caused signal increase in every 5th patient. Enhancement after open biopsy was no more visible 6 months postoperatively. 12 months after tumorectomy and radiation therapy, most patients showed no more signal enhancement. In conclusion, MR mammography can be performed after fine-needle biopsy without problems. In case of core biopsy, hematoma should be excluded by sonography before. MR mammography should not be performed within 6 months after open biopsy, or within 12 months after tumorectomy and radiation therapy.
