Multimodality PET/CT, dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE), and sodium MR images on a 35-year-old female with stage III breast cancer before preoperative systemic therapy. (a) There is a marked uptake of ¹⁸FDG PET within the lesion (SUV) = 6.7. (b) Also rapid uptake of contrast agent within the lesion is shown on the DCE-MR image with a volume (32 mm³). (c) There was high total sodium concentration (42 mM) within the lesion. Reprinted, with permission, from [41].
