A Study to Analyze Supine Breast MRI

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to characterize the changes occurring in breast tumor-associated properties/ dimensions between the prone and supine imaging positions and to develop a dataset of supine-positioned MRIs that can be translated into an operative setting for real-time visualization.
