Breast MRI

Breast MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a specialized imaging test used to examine breast tissue for abnormalities. It utilizes strong magnets and radio waves, rather than radiation, to create detailed images of the breasts. This method is particularly useful for detecting breast cancer, evaluating known tumors, and assessing the extent of disease. It is often recommended for women with dense breast tissue or those at higher risk for breast cancer. While it provides valuable information, it may also result in more findings that need further investigation, so it's typically used in conjunction with other imaging methods like mammography.
