Conditions: Breast Cancer Diagnostic Imaging
Keywords: Breast Cancer Gadobutrol-enhanced MRI Mammography
Allocation: NON_RANDOMIZED | Intervention model: SINGLE_GROUP
Enrollment: 446
Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
The purpose of this study is to look at the efficacy (how does it work) and safety of gadobutrol when used for obtaining MR images of both breasts.Women with a recent diagnosis of breast cancer by mammogram (X-ray examination of the breasts) may benefit from MRI of the breasts as MRI may detect additional breast cancers.

Detailed description:

Arms:
arm 1: Patients first received an unenhanced MRM, followed by a gadobutrol-enhanced MRM. Gadobutrol was administered at the standard dose of 0.1 mmol/kg bw \[0.1 ml/kg bw\] as an intravenous injection (i.v.) injection at a rate of 2 ml/sec. UMRM and CMRM image sets were evaluated in a randomized fashion. After the evaluation of the UMRM or CMRM the respective XRM was added and evaluated together with the UMRM images.

Interventions: intervention 1: Gadobutrol (Gadavist, Gadovist, BAY86-4875)
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: A single bolus injection of gadobutrol 1.0 M 0.1mmol/kg body weight
