Low-dose Imaging Technique (LITE)

Not Applicable
Withdrawn
Conditions
Breast Cancer
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: Low-dose Imaging
Registration Number
NCT04350957
Lead Sponsor
University of Chicago
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the diagnostic accuracy of a breast MRI when using a smaller dose of contrast compared to a full dose of contrast.

Each patient will be injected with a low-dose and standard dose of Gadavist® acquired on two separate days. Both low-dose and standard-dose images for each patient will allow matched comparison for comprehensive quantitative evaluation. To evaluate these diagnostic methods we need volunteers who are willing to allow us to take a number of different MRI pictures of their breasts. The scans we are asking you to volunteer for now is for research purposes only and will have no effect on the medical care you receive from your doctors.

Low-dose ImagingLow-dose ImagingEnrolled patients will undergo two separate dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI's, one with 25% of the contrast dose and one with 100% of the contrast dose recommended by weight. During the first visit, the subject will receive 25% of the standard dose of contrast media 0.1 mM/kg will be administered at 2 mls/second followed by the acquisition of a series of DCE images. On the second visit, the subject will receive 100% of the contrast media followed by the same imaging protocol as the one subsequent to the first contrast administration.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Low-dose Lesion EnhancementThrough study completion, an average of 1 year

Readers will initially be provided with two MIP images and asked to decide on presence or absence of significant enhancement. The two MIP images will be created from the low dose images and the standard dose images respectively.
