Abstract

The mDIXON quant sequence is a chemical shift encoding based on the proton density fat fraction, which can assess fat content quantitatively. Myofibroblastoma (MFB) is a benign mesenchymal entity, and its prevalence is less than 1% of all breast tumors. Since MFB includes variable amounts of fat-containing fascicles, the mDIXON quant sequence provides a prominent contribution in evaluating fat content in the lesion.
