Abstract

Quantitative multivoxel MR spectroscopy can improve the accuracy of contrast-enhanced breast MRI. Multivoxel-MRS can differentiate breast lesions by using the highest Cho-concentration. Multivoxel-MRS can exclude patients with benign breast lesions from further invasive diagnostic procedures.
