the aim of this study is to intraindividually compare the use of equivalent doses of gadobenate dimeglumine (MultiHance, Bracco Imaging, Milan, Italy) and gadoterate meglumine (DOTAREM, Guerbet, France) for breast MR imaging by using a prospective study design, evaluated independently by blinded readers.
