Feasibility Study of Breast MRI in Decubitus Position

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Breast Cancer
Interventions
Procedure: Position for the 3.0 Tesla in Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Registration Number
NCT02865239
Lead Sponsor
Institut de Cancérologie de Lorraine
Brief Summary

Breast MRI is performed in prone position which causes a number of questions. Indeed, the correlation with mammography and echography and the identification of preoperative lesions can be complex as echography and surgery are carried in supine position while mammography is performed in standing position.

Moreover, the prone position is often considered as uncomfortable by the patients. However, there is few publications in the literature on breast MRI in decubitus position.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of lesions where the topography is discordant between the positions (prone and supine).1 day

The topography is considered discordant if the location of the lesion is different between prone and supine positions (location will be described as the positions on a clock) and / or the distance from the nipple to the lesion is greater than 2cm between prone and supine positions.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Comfort patient in supine position compared to the prone position using a self-administered questionnaire1 day
distance from the anterior border of the lesion to the nipple in supine position compared to the prone position1 day
distance from cutaneous projection of the lesion to the nipple in supine position compared to the prone position1 day
distance from lesion to pectoralis major muscle in supine position compared to the prone position1 day
Quandrant of the lesions and positions on a clock in supine position compared to the prone position1 day
