Advances in breast imaging: Magnetic resonance imaging

Current Oncology Reports Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the breast is rapidly becoming incorporated into clinical practice. Indications for breast MRI include staging of known breast cancer, monitoring response to chemotherapy, assessing recurrence, problem solving, and high-risk screening. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy is a promising technique that may decrease the number of benign biopsies generated by breast MRI in the clinical setting.

Results from this study strongly suggest that women with BRCA mutations should be offered MRI screening.
