GRACE

GRACE

Increased Choline-signal within breast tumor, shown with GRACE

GRACE (GeneRAlized breast speCtroscopy Exam) is a Single Voxel Spectroscopy technique optimized for breast spectroscopy.

Clinical Applications

Additional information in characterization of breast lesions seen in MR leading to better diagnosis
May aid to improve the specificity for tumor diagnoses
Follow-up of breast lesions after chemotherapy

Características y Beneficios

Features

The technique contains a special lipid suppression pulse and a water reference detection (to visualize the choline ratio)
Spectral suppression pulses for lipid or water
Lipid signal is suppressed by spectral RF pulse in every average of the measurement.
Online central frequency correction for reduction of motion related artifacts
Movement of thorax causes frequency shift, inline implementation of frequenzy correction, no additional user interaction is required
