Figure 6.
High temporal resolution (HTR) 3D FLASH MR image during the first segment of HTR acquisitions in patient 3 (post-contrast), with the corresponding signal intensity time series from the tumor in the left breast. In the right column, high spatial resolution (HSR) 3D FLASH image acquired shortly after contrast agent administration with the respective signal time series. The time series generated from both the HSR and HTR images indicate a type 4 tumor curve. Also note that low enhancement areas within tumor can be identified on both HSR and HTR images. This tumor was reported as a large abnormal rim enhancing 45 mm mass exhibiting a type 4 curve with 120% enhancement.
