The technique for diagnosing human breast cancer with 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) has improved. According to recent research from the United States, "The high sensitivity but poor specificity of magnetic resonance imaging for detecting breast cancer has stimulated interest in MRSI as a tool to improve specificity and reduce the number of benign biopsies." "The challenge of applying 1H MRSI to the diagnosis of cancer in the human breast is the need for robust lipid suppression and a clinically acceptable acquisition time," explained J.N. Hu and colleagues, Wayne State University. The researchers concluded,...
