[Abstract] Objectives: To evaluate the accuracy of infiltration range of breast cancer tissue in vitro using 7.0 T magnetic resonance imaging(MRI), and to verify the possible value of determining the breast tumor margin before surgery by MRI.Materials and Methods: Fresh breast cancer tissue in vitro (n=17) were underwent 7.0 T MRI and histological examination. After acquisition of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI)、apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and fractional anisotropy (FA) imaging on the 7.0 T MRI machines, the edge of lesion was drawn out manually and the area of tumor was calculated by VnmrJ 4.0. The HE dyeing slice of pathology was observed under a microscope. The edge of lesion was drawn out manually and the area was calculated by Photoshop software. The correlation between the area of tumor from MRI and the histological slice was analyzed using Pearson correlation test of SPSS version 19.0.Results: In all specimens, there were 14 cases of breast infiltrative ductal carcinoma, 2 cases breast papillary carcinoma and 1 case of mucinous breast carcinoma confirmed pathologically. Significant correlation was found between the area of breast tumor on DWI, ADC, FA mapping and histological result (4.32±1.28) cm2 in DWI vs. (3.81±1.12) cm2 in histological slice, Pearson correlation coefficient r=0.966, P=0.00, (4.68±1.43) cm2 in ADC vs. (3.81±1.12) cm2 in histological slice, Pearson correlation coefficient r=0.976, P=0.00, (4.74±1.53) cm2 in FA vs. (3.81±1.12) cm2 in histological slice, Pearson correlation coefficient r=0.964, P=0.00).Conclusions: Although all of the areas acquired by MRI were larger than those by histological results, there was significant correlation between them. Thus, useful information for evaluating the infiltration range of breast tumor may be provided by MRI.
