Abstract
Dynamic, contrast-enhanced breast MRI (DCE-MRI) has been shown to be more accurate than mammography, ultrasound and clinical breast exam for the identification of tumour extent in the breast. However, DCE breast MRI is not currently utilized for the guidance of breast conservation surgery, primarily due to the differences in breast positioning during the MR imaging compared to the positioning in the surgical theatre. Therefore a supine positioning of the patient during MR imaging is preferred, which should result in a better matching of the images of the preoperative MRI and the later positioning in the operating room.
