Overview

Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a sophisticated diagnostic tool designed primarily to detect and evaluate breast cancer. By using powerful magnets, radio waves, and computer technology, breast MRI produces highly detailed images of the breast which are obtained before and after giving IV contrast (dye).The high end sequences like UltraFast sequence and Diffusion Weighted Sequence increase the specificity of the breast MRI and along with high sensitivity , it has very high accuracy of picking up cancers.

This technique is crucial for assessing the extent of cancer, especially following a biopsy, and for identifying potential issues in the opposite breast.

Breast MRI can also serve as a complementary tool to mammography in breast cancer screening, particularly for individuals at high risk. This includes those with a strong family history of breast cancer, genetic mutations associated with breast cancer, or other significant risk factors.

Applications

Breast MRI may be recommended for:

  • Assessing Cancer Spread: To determine if cancer has spread within the same breast or to the other breast after an initial diagnosis.
  • Implant Issues: To investigate a possible leak or tear in a breast implant.
  • High Risk Screening: For individuals with a lifetime risk of 20% or more, including those with a strong family history of breast or ovarian cancer, dense breast tissue, or genetic predispositions (e.g., BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations).
  • Detecting Missed Cancer: To identify cancers that mammograms might have missed, particularly in individuals with dense breast tissue or a history of atypical hyperplasia or lobular carcinoma in situ.
  • Post-Radiation Monitoring: For those who have received radiation therapy to the chest area between ages 10 and 30.

Breast MRI is used alongside mammography rather than as a replacement. Although it is a valuable diagnostic tool, it is not infallible and may miss some cancers that mammograms can detect.
