MR Gadopiclenol (VUEWAY\u00ae) Protocols \u2013 Breast Imaging<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The suggested breast protocols specific to General Electric (GE), Siemens and Philips MR systems were developed based on expert consensus by radiologists and radiologic technologists with extensive experience in breast MR imaging and familiarity with different MR vendors’ scanning systems.<\/p>\n

The breast MR protocols in this section are designed to be used with Vueway (gadopiclenol), a new macrocyclic gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) that has recently been approved by the FDA. Vueway (gadopiclenol) is an ultra-high relaxivity GBCA that is approved for breast MR imaging applications. Vueway (gadopiclenol) provides a r1 relaxivity of 12.8 at 1.5 T and 11.6 at 3T and possesses extremely high kinetic stability with a dissociation half-life of 20\u00b13 days. Equally unique is that Vueway (gadopiclenol) is dosed at 0.05 mmol\/kg, exposing patients to half the dose of gadolinium compared with all other GBCAs. This new agent holds the promise of improving the visualization of lesions that are difficult to image and other pathologic abnormalities while enhancing patient safety.<\/p>\n

Please review the 0.75-hour continuing medical education (CME\/CE) activity Advancements in Breast MRI Protocols: Optimizing Visualization, 1st Edition<\/strong> that describes the latest developments in contrast media as they are used for breast MR imaging. After completing the CME\/CE activity, participants should be better able to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Review requirements for breast MRI, including techniques used to optimize breast magnetic resonance (MR) protocols<\/li>\n
  • Implement 1.5T and 3T breast MR protocols that provide optimal visualization of breast cancers<\/li>\n
  • Describe strategies for minimizing gadolinium exposure during breast MRI<\/li>\n
  • Discuss breast MR image interpretation including the use of computer-aided evaluation systems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
