Summary:
Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a diagnostic technique in MRI that distinguishes
various metabolites on the basis of their slightly different chemical shifts or resonance
frequencies. The Proton is the most abundant nucleus in the body. We will try to
establish the typical proton MRS pattern of normal women breasts to be a guideline for
future further investigations.
Detailed description:
There are few reports regarding proton MRS in normal female breasts. The fibroglandular
tissues and fat are the two major gross components in the breast. The water content in
the fibroglandular tissues is much higher than that in the fat. There is still no
documented report discussing proton MRS in normal female breasts of premenopausal and
postmenopausal women. Our study is to evaluate the proton MRS findings among normal
premenopausal and postmenopausal women breasts, to find out if there are statistical
differences on the main proton MRS patterns, water and lipid peak intensities and ratios
between the two groups.
