Eligibility
INCLUSION CRITERIA
- Female
- Documented breast physical examination,
- Documented mammography within 3 months of the MR studies
- Palpable or mammographically-detected suspect breast lesions
- Women who have already undergone lumpectomy for breast cancer and have
post-biopsy/post-radiation changes will be eligible if they have
mammographically-detected or palpable breast abnormalities which are sufficiently
suspicious to merit core needle or surgical biopsy.

- Male by birth
- Able to complete the MR examination. Subjects will be interviewed by one of the
investigators for the usual contraindications to
- MR contraindications including
- Pacemakers
- Metallic implants
- Severe claustrophobia
- Aneurysm clips
- Pregnancy
- Current lactation
- Other conditions precluding proximity to a strong magnetic field.
- Received an enhanced MR procedure within 48 hours,
- Iodinated contrast within six hours,
- Known sensitivity to MR contrast agents,
- Not likely to complete the study in full or
- Other clinical reason which would preclude participation in the protocol.
