In vivo challenges. Poor fat suppression can reduce the conspicuity of lesions. In the case of incomplete fat suppression (a) the image contrast is diminished; the arrows show a grade 3 invasive ductal carcinoma, also shown in a post-contrast image for reference (b). If the field variation is severe enough, the signal from the tumor can be suppressed (c). The arrows indicate the location of a grade 1 invasive ductal carcinoma, also shown in a post-contrast image for reference (d). Motion can cause image artifacts, such as signal appearing outside of the breasts (e); the green contour shows the skin and the arrow shows artifact signal.
