What Is a Breast MRI?
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic exam that uses a large magnet, radio waves, and a computer to produce three-dimensional, detailed images of structures inside the breast.
A breast MRI looks specifically at the breast and helps physicians determine what the inside of the breast looks like without having to do surgery or flatten the breast, as in a mammogram. A breast MRI can offer more information about the extent of breast cancer than is possible with a mammogram alone. When used with mammography and breast ultrasound, an MRI can be a useful diagnostic tool and help in detecting small breast lesions, which are often missed by mammography. It can show the extent of the cancer or an issue with the other breast.
It also helps discover breast cancer in women with breast implants and in younger women with dense breast tissue when mammography is not so effective. MRI tells the difference between diseased tissues and normal tissues better than X-ray, CT scan, and ultrasound and enables physicians to monitor treatment progress.
