Description
Highlights: • We performed a prospective monocentric study to compare 1.5 T and 3 T breast MRI for diagnosis of breast cancer. • The diagnostic accuracy of breast MRI was comparably high between protocols at both field strengths. • Protocols optimized for the specific scanner hardware yield excellent image quality and high diagnostic performance. - Abstract: ObjectiveWe performed a prospective monocentric study to inter-individually compare the diagnostic accuracy of breast MRI at 1.5 T and 3 T.
