1.5T & 3T MRI: Comparing
Breast Images

Looking for diagnostic accuracy for breast images? According to
Austrian and German researchers, look no further than 1.5T and 3T
breast MRI images. A recent study published in the May issue of the
European Journal of Radiology shows that 1.5T and 3T breast MRI
images deliver diagnostic accuracy of approximately 92%. In addition,
comparably high numbers were also reached for specificity, sensitivity
and negative predictive values.

Using MRI for breast imaging has many advantages. It provides
exceptional soft-tissue contrast. Multiparametric sequences
provide enhanced views of tumor vascularization and it provide
simultaneous visualization of both breasts. Multichannel coils also
help interpretations of 1.5T and 3T MR images.

"Our findings have several implications: [Breast MRI] is robust and
can be performed with various protocols and scanner types,"
wrote the group led by Dr. Matthias Dietzel from University
Hospital Erlangen. "The impact of sequences parameters and the
scanner hardware is probably much lower than expected
previously. While examinations at 1.5T are cheaper, 3T [breast
MRI] has certain inherent advantages: most of all, the potential to
reduce the dosage of contrast agents."

Much of the previous research thatβs compared 1.5T and 3T breast
MRI has focused on small patient groups, selected diagnostic
criteria or specific clinical questions. As a result, the evidence is still
limited regarding increasing the field strength from 1.5T to 3T.

Dietzel and colleagues reviewed images of 1,961 breasts from 982
patients over a consecutive 12-month period. Of the total, 215 (11%)
were imaged on a 3-tesla system (Magnetom Tim Trio, Siemens) and
1,746 (89%) we imaged on a 1.5T scanner (Magnetom Tim Avanto,
Siemens Healthineers). Both scanners had dedicated 16-channel
breast coils and both protocols included contrast-enhanced T1-
weighted imaging.

Two readers with expertise in breast MRI assigned a BIRADS
category per breast. The standard of reference was with
histopathological data or MRI follow-up of more than 24
months. The overall diagnostic accuracy was 91.9%, with 1.5tesla
MRI at 92% and 3tesla MRI at 91.2%. Given the spread of only
0.8%, there was no statistically significant difference between the
two strengths (p= 0.68). The other diagnostic parameters also
didnβt show a statistically significant difference.

The researchers wrote, "As a secondary result our data provide
evidence that high image quality can be achieved by any MRI unit.
To achieve a high image quality, a standard clinical scanner
equipped with a breast surface coil is sufficient. The only
prerequisite is the optimization of the protocol for the specific
scanner hardware (magnet, coil, etc.). This secondary result is
important, as there has been much discussion in the past decades
which protocol is necessary for accurate diagnosis."
