Quantification of Breast Density Using Three-Dimensional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
Breast density has been proven as an independent risk factor of breast cancer. Due to the limitation of two dimensional mammographic density, various alternative imaging modalities have been investigated to provide more quantitative measurement of breast density. Among these potential imaging tools, three dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based density method is mostly studied. Our research group has been focusing on this topic for years. Here we present our experience of developing 3D MRI density method and briefly review several studies we have published related to the consistency of the 3D MR method. The results have suggested that 3D MRI can be a reliable tool for the measurement of breast density. Short Communication

متن کاملStatic Coil Design Considerations for the Magnetic Resonance Imaging
One of the main challenges in developing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems is to create a static coil that needs to generate magnetic field density along with the characteristics of optimal homogeneity and magnitude size. To do this, two N42 Block PMs are used and the iron core is designed and optimized in accordance with the dimensions of PM pieces using ANSYS Maxwell software. Then, al...
