N2 - The authors evaluated magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with high spectral and spatial resolutions (HSSR) of water and fat in breasts of healthy volunteers (n = 6) and women with suspicious lesions (n = 6). Fat suppression, edge delineation, and image texture were improved on MR images derived from HSSR data compared with those on conventional MR images. HSSR MR imaging data acquired before and after contrast medium injection showed spectrally inhomogeneous changes in the water resonances in small voxels that were not detectable with conventional MR imaging.
