• Advantages- Tissue contrast and ability to differentiate structures and pathology.
• Disadvantages- Motion (respiratory, cardiac)
• CT is great for detail and motion suppression, but lacks in tissue differentiation.
• MRI is just the opposite.
Compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of MRI imaging of the chest for diagnostic purposes.

CT was the “Gold Standard”. Great resolution. No Breathing
Artifacts.Can see calcifications well.MRI has better tissue
differentiation.Better at Interstitial Fibrosis and Atelectasis.Better at Pleural Effusion and Edema.Better at visualizing “invasion” into other tissues and body cavities.

Osteochondromas. Most common. Usually occurs near the end of
bones.“Cartilage Cap” Tumors, 10%
become malignant.Endochondroma. Metaphyseal-diaphyseal region of the bone.Chondroblastoma. Arises from
epiphysis.Most of these benign bone tumors
show up in young people.

• Mammography is essential for the baseline. • With DCIS mammography shows
calcifications which are an indicator of DCIS.(Ductal Carcinoma In Situ)
• MRI is very sensitive and needs to be read along side Mammography to come to a conclusion of the real disease process.
• Mammography is high resolution and has a longer diagnostic history than MRI.(Radiologist are comfortable with DX from Mammo)
Compare and contrast the sensitivity of MRI Breast imaging vs. the sensitivity of mammography.

Clinical Indications for BMRI
• Staging of patients with known Breast CA.
• Palpable lumps, Pain, Nipple retraction, Rash, Skin thickening.
• Abnormal Mammogram• Strong Family History• BRCA 1 or 2 +• Silicone Implant Rupture

Silicone Implants
For silicone implant rupture we must run a “Water sat” Inversion Recovery sequence.
This is pretty close to a regular STIR, but we need to “Center” our Frequency on WATER.
Water Fat 220 hz Silicone 330 hz
90 hz

Silicone Implants Silicone will dominate the signal. Silicone will not be Black on T1. Silicone “will” be bright on STIR. Silicone Rupture Protocol is the same as Breast Cancer Protocol. All implants will “Mask” out on post processed images.

How does Breast MRI find CA
Tumor mediated Angiogenesis
Most malignant Breast CA directs the vascularity towards the tumor. Thus MRI with dynamic contrast can see angiogenesis.

• Divided into Right and Left side.• Beats 100,000 times per day• Pumps 5 quarts of blood per day.• Blue blood (no oxygen) returns to the heart
thru the Rt. Atrium into the Rt. Ventricle.• Then the heart contracts (systole) forcing
blood into the Pulmonary artery and into the lungs.
• This oxygenates the blood, which is forced into the Lt. Atrium and into the Lt. Ventricle.
• The blood is then sent to the rest of the body.• 4 Valves keep the blood flowing in the right
direction. Tricuspid, Mitral, Pulmonary, and Aortic Valve.

Coronary Artery
The Coronary Artery originates from the ascending aorta and feeds oxygenated blood the the cardiac muscle (myocardium).

• Q R S T• We trigger off of the R wave.• But the scanner likes to scan after the
T wave when the heart is still.• Also have Segmented scanning where
the scanner only “sees” certain parts of the Cardiac cycle.
• Retrospective Gating

• Black blood imaging is used to depict anatomy, pericardial and mediastinal abnormalities, and extraluminal aortic disease.
• Bright blood imaging is used to demonstrate flow and motion and to image valvular disease.

• Black blood imaging includes ECG-gated true spin-echo or fast spin-echo imaging or inversion-recovery (IR) half-Fourier single-shot turbo fast-spin-echo sequences. Spin-echo sequences generate black blood due to time-of-flight effects of flowing blood that vary with the echo time (TE).

• Important MR imaging views include the true planar, two-chamber scout, short axis, long axis, four-chamber, and true two-chamber. The true planar view may be in seen in axial, sagittal, or coronal sections. To achieve a two-chamber scout view, a true axial view through the left ventricle should be obtained, and then an oblique coronal scout view should be positioned parallel to the interventricular septum
Describe the different imagine planes for cardiac MRI and explain how you would position for each plane.
