Brief Title: Low-field MRI for Breast Cancer Screening
Official Title: A New Breast Cancer MRI Biomarker Using the Intrinsic T1rho Signal
Study ID: NCT05486520
Brief Summary: This research study wants to learn more about improving the attainable image quality for ultra-low field MRI of the breast using new data acquisition methods(also called MRI pulse sequences) and image reconstruction algorithms. For this pilot study, are testing a new method to image breast cancers at ultra-low magnetic field. The findings from this breast imaging technique will be compared with results obtained from standard mammograms, ultrasounds, MRIs, clinical examinations, and pathology evaluations, when available. The ultra-low field breast MRI performed for this study will be for research purposes and will not be used to guide clinical care.
Detailed Description: This research study is a Feasibility Study, which is the first-time investigators are examining the use of ultra-low field MRI to image breast cancer. The purpose of the study is to develop, test and improve new software techniques for our magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems. In developing new, ultra-low field MRI scanners develop sequences and other software algorithms from time to time. This study will enroll both healthy participants and persons with breast cancer. This investigation will also compare these images to standard mammograms, ultrasounds, MRIs, clinical examinations, and pathology evaluations when available. It is expected that about 40 people will take part in this research study.
