Gd-enhanced dynamic magnetic resonance imaging of breast masses.
The combination of morphologic and hemodynamic analyses of contrast-enhanced dynamic magnetic resonance imaging is valuable for characterizing breast masses. Pharmacokinetic parameters such as k and f reflect histologic architecture of breast masses. We believe that MR imaging may be of value for diagnosis of breast masses.
