Current Status and Future Prospects of Proton MR Spectroscopy of the Breast with a 1.5T MR Unit

Figure 2

Proton MR spectroscopy of the normal breast parenchyma. Coronal 3D contrast-enhanced fat-suppressed MR image (TR/TE, 5.2/2.3) shows no suspicious findings (a). Single-voxel spectrum shows a choline (Cho) peak at 3.22 ppm (b). Water subtraction and baseline correction are applied (c). The normalized choline (Cho) signal is 2.03.
