Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in Breast Imaging

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for breast imaging is a non-invasive technique that uses strong magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of breast tissue. Unlike mammography, which uses X-rays, MRI provides a clearer view of the soft tissues, helping to detect abnormalities such as tumors that may not be visible through other methods. It’s particularly useful for high-risk patients or to further evaluate findings from mammograms. The procedure is painless, involves lying in a machine for a short time, and can provide crucial information for diagnosis and treatment planning.
