Feasibility of Blood Oxygenation Level-Dependent Contrast (BOLD) Breast MRI Induced by Breath- Holding
Completed
Conditions studied: Breast Cancer
In brief
In this study, investigators intend to measure changes in BOLD contrast in the breast induced by breath-holding for subjects receiving radiation therapy to the breast. This study will provide the preliminary data and experience needed to successfully apply BOLD to quantify changes in oxygenation and blood flow of breast and tumor for a larger cohort of breast radiotherapy patients. The current study has the following objectives: 1. To determine the feasibility of BOLD contrast MRI of the breast, induced by breath-hold. 2. To measure the change in BOLD contrast of the breast and / or chest wall tissue for females undergoing radiotherapy
