Breast MRI

Breast cancer is the second most common malignancy affecting women, and is an important public health concern. Patients identified as having a possible abnormality on screening mammography or physical examination or who are at high risk may undergo additional tests, including imaging, and physical examination. Breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is being investigated as an adjunct to mammography for screening of high-risk women since its accuracy is not affected by breast density, it does not use radiation, and it has high sensitivity.
