Breast Cancer Protocols: Technical Notes 3    

BILATERAL BREASTS

• Scan 1 breast at a time for the T1 and T2 series (each a separate series to make sending lefts and rights easier to send to PACS).

• Be sure to label each series as Left or Right breast.

• Scan dynamics bilaterally all in one series and send to PACS together (label, but do not separate left and right).

• Scan left to right always.

• Scan post gad axials at end of study in a separate series and send to PACS separately lefts then rights with labels.

SINGLE BREAST

• T1W and T2W series of affected breast only. Continue to scan both breasts for dynamic series only.

• Do not separate lefts and rights for dynamics.

• Label lefts and rights for all series including dynamics.
