[Abstract] Contrast-enhanced MRI has gained acceptance as an important breast imaging modality. However it does not always provide a definitive pathology. Initial studies where in vivo proton MR spectroscopy has been added as an adjunct to dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging of the breast have shown promising results and a growing number of research groups are incorporating the technique into their breast MR protocols. The aim of this article is to illustrate the expected examination results and outline some of the pitfalls associated with undertaking a breast MRS examination.
