Image-guided localized proton MR spectroscopy (MRS) of normal breasts and breast tumors (ductal and undifferentiated carcinomas) was performed using a dedicated double breast coil. In vivo 1H MR spectra from 10 normal volunteers showed signals from water and lipids only, even in breasts with small contribution of fatty breast tissue. In the spectra from 6 of the 12 examined patients, an intense signal assigned to choline compounds was detected. The signal was also detected at lower levels in the remaining patients. This study shows that in vivo 1H MRI/MRS examinations of breast tumors can be performed within an examination time of 45 to 60 minutes. Signals from breast tumor metabolites may be detected using in vivo 1H MRS.
