Brief Summary:
This is a 2 Phase study. In the first phase of the study, patients with palpable invasive breast cancer underwent pre-operative supine MRI and optical scanning in the surgical position. In the second phase of the study, patients with non-palpable invasive breast cancer or DCIS who desire breast conservation will be randomized to either a usual care group, or a group receiving a supine MRI in addition to conventional imaging (mammogram and prone MRI) and undergoing breast cancer resection without the wire localization technique.
Detailed Description:
We propose to use a novel technique (optical scanning) to correlate the supine MRI image to the surgical position in the OR and then to confirm and extend the Japanese study described above. In the first phase of the study, 5-25 patients with palpable invasive breast cancer will undergo pre-operative supine MRI and optical scanning in the surgical position. The purpose of this phase will be ensure that the images created from the optical scanner-adjusted supine MRI images closely correspond to the location of the palpable tumors in these breasts. All patients will then have their tumor resected using the standard method of either palpation or image guided wire localization. The first phase has been completed.
In the second phase of the study, patients with non-palpable invasive breast cancer or DCIS who desire breast conservation will be randomized to either a usual care group, or a group receiving a supine MRI in addition to conventional imaging (mammogram and prone MRI) and undergoing breast cancer resection without the wire localization technique.
Our secondary objectives will be to determine:
1. whether there are differences between the two groups in the volume of breast tissue removed.
2. whether diagnostic information obtained from a supine MRI is equivalent to that obtained from the prone MRI.
