Indications for Breast MRI

This unparalleled technology provides on-time access to a vital diagnostic tool that augments the capabilities of conventional and digital x-ray mammography and ultrasound.

Accurate mapping of newly diagnosed breast cancers (assisting with lumpectomy vs. mastectomy decisions, including the evaluation of the opposite breast)

Ruling out cancer when the conventional work-up of exam, mammography, and ultrasound leaves questions unanswered (either a disparity in findings, or a multiplicity of inconclusive findings)

Judging the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy

Distinguishing scar from recurrent cancer in lumpectomy patients

Searching for a primary cancer when axillary nodes are found to harbor malignancy

Evaluating for ruptured breast implants

Difficult diagnostic problems in patients with breast implants

Pre-operative study to rule out cancer prior to implants or reduction surgery

High Risk Screening (esp. in patients with dense tissue on mammography)

Clinical Applications
