Breast MRI




In the detection of breast cancer, MRI offers high sensitivity while exposing the patient to no ionizing radiation. It is a painless exam, as minimal or no compression is needed, yet it provides both morphological and functional data.


MR is commonly indicated to:

Identify clinically or mammographically occult tumor
Stage and plan treatment
Detect recurrent tumor
Screen high-risk women
Evaluate the integrity of breast implants
It is also a valuable tool for guided breast biopsy.
