“…The total acquisition time of this “half-body”-sequence was 51 s ( Table 1 ). This protocol has been previously described in [18] , [19] . MRI examinations were evaluated by two experienced radiologists (one with an experience of >15.000 cases, the other with an experience of >1.000 cases in MRI).…”

PurposeTo demonstrate our primary findings, indicating perirenal edema as a first imaging sign towards primary hypertension.MethodsOut of 3190 consecutive MR-Mammography (MRM) examinations, 777 were performed with an additional body array coil. Incidentally, “perirenal edema” could be linked to a patient history of hypertension. We Therefore specifically further observed the correlation.ResultsOf 777 patients 86 (11%) patients showed the perirenal edema sign (PES). Upon inquiry all of these cases (100%) confirmed a past or present history of hypertensive disease (i.e. blood pressure above 140/90 and/or anti-hypertensive treatment).ConclusionOur preliminary results strongly indicate a strong correlation between perirenal edema and primary hypertension.

“…Kirchner et al [ 98 ] proposed a complete whole body positron emission tomography/MRI staging. On the other hand, abbreviated protocols enabling screening for breast cancer metastasis are available as well [ 99 , 100 ]. Requiring only 90 s of additional examination time, such protocols can be combined with a standard breast MRI within one single examination.…”

“…Requiring only 90 s of additional examination time, such protocols can be combined with a standard breast MRI within one single examination. Initial clinical data demonstrated promising results regarding both lymph node staging (positive predictive value of 100%, negative predictive value of 94.3%) and distant metastases screening (sensitivity 100%, specificity 98.3%) [ 99 , 100 ].…”

The potential of predictive and prognostic breast MRI (P2-bMRI)

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an important part of breast cancer diagnosis and multimodal workup. It provides unsurpassed soft tissue contrast to analyse the underlying pathophysiology, and it is adopted for a variety of clinical indications. Predictive and prognostic breast MRI (P2-bMRI) is an emerging application next to these indications. The general objective of P2-bMRI is to provide predictive and/or prognostic biomarkers in order to support personalisation of breast cancer treatment. We believe P2-bMRI has a great clinical potential, thanks to the in vivo examination of the whole tumour and of the surrounding tissue, establishing a link between pathophysiology and response to therapy (prediction) as well as patient outcome (prognostication). The tools used for P2-bMRI cover a wide spectrum: standard and advanced multiparametric pulse sequences; structured reporting criteria (for instance BI-RADS descriptors); artificial intelligence methods, including machine learning (with emphasis on radiomics data analysis); and deep learning that have shown compelling potential for this purpose. P2-bMRI reuses the imaging data of examinations performed in the current practice. Accordingly, P2-bMRI could optimise clinical workflow, enabling cost savings and ultimately improving personalisation of treatment. This review introduces the concept of P2-bMRI, focusing on the clinical application of P2-bMRI by using semantic criteria.

“…2,3 However, PET, specifically positron emission mammography, is also used in focused breast examinations 4 and whole-body MR imaging has also been used in imaging metastatic spread. 5,6 PET and MR images of the breast have been fused 7–10 to investigate potential benefits of combining these modalities. Now, PET/MR imaging hybrid scanners, depending on the model, simultaneously or sequentially acquire and coregister PET and MR imaging data.…”
