BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate a phyllodes tumor of the breast with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy. METHODS: MRI of the breasts was performed using a phased array double breast coil with spectroscopic capability on a 1.5T MR scanner. Post-contrast sequential imaging was done, and the subtracted images were evaluated. Timesignal intensity curves were obtained. MR spectroscopy using BREASE software was also performed. RESULTS: MRI combined with MR spectroscopy was used in the diagnosis and characterization of a phyllodes tumor of the breast. CONCLUSION: MRI and MR spectroscopy may offer an in vivo imaging technique for the characterization of phyllodes tumors of the breast.
背景：本研究的目的是利用磁共振成像（MRI）和磁共振波谱对乳腺叶状肿瘤进行评估。方法：在1.5T磁共振扫描仪上使用具有波谱功能的相控阵双乳腺线圈对乳房进行MRI检查。进行增强后序列成像，并对减影图像进行评估。获取时间-信号强度曲线。还使用BREASE软件进行了磁共振波谱分析。结果：MRI联合磁共振波谱用于乳腺叶状肿瘤的诊断和特征描述。结论：MRI和磁共振波谱可能为乳腺叶状肿瘤的特征描述提供一种体内成像技术。
