GRACE
Increased Choline-signal within breast tumor, shown with GRACE
GRACE (GeneRAlized breast speCtroscopy Exam) is a Single Voxel Spectroscopy technique optimized for breast spectroscopy.
Clinical Applications
- Additional information in characterization of breast lesions seen in MR leading to better diagnosis
- Follow-up of breast lesions after chemotherapy
Features & Benefits
Features
- The technique contains a special lipid suppression pulse and a water reference detection (to visualize the choline ratio)
- Spectral suppression pulses for lipid or water
- Lipid signal is suppressed by spectral RF pulse in every average of the measurement.
- Online central frequency correction for reduction of motion related artifacts
- Movement of thorax causes frequency shift, inline implementation of frequenzy correction, no additional user interaction is required
