Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Purpose: The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate whether MRI of the breasts with diffusion-weighted MR imaging can identify features more specific for breast cancer in women at high-risk of developing breast cancer. Participants: One hundred asymptomatic women at high-risk for breast cancer recommended for a clinical breast MRI identified through the UNC Breast Clinic will be consecutively recruited for this study. Procedures (methods): Each patient will undergo a clinical breast MRI and the addition of a single 90 second diffusion weighted sequence. A reader study will be conducted at UNC after the completion of patient accrual. The images will be analysed for lesions, enhancement patterns, diffusion weighted imaging data and correlated with any pathology or 1 year follow-up MRI exam. The study information will be entered into a secure database and analyzed.
