B₁ transmission‐field inhomogeneity and enhancement ratio errors in dynamic contrast‐enhanced MRI (DCE‐MRI) of the breast at 3T

Abstract

B(1) transmission-field inhomogeneity is a critical issue in breast imaging at 3T and causes errors in quantifying ER. These errors would be sufficient to reduce the conspicuity of a malignant lesion and could result in reduced sensitivity for cancer detection.
