MRI is a sophisticated technology that uses a computer, magnetic field and radio waves - instead of x-rays - to produce images of the soft tissues in the body. MRI has been safely used for decades to provide information to help in the early diagnosis and treatment of disease.
MRI of the breasts has emerged as a new technique in the evaluation of breast disease. When used in conjunction with conventional x-ray mammography, breast MRI can provide valuable information for the detection and characterization of breast disease. MRI doesn't replace mammography - it's a different imaging technique that provides additional information.
Nationally recognized breast centers currently perform breast MRI for a number of reasons including: · Diagnosis of breast implant rupture · Surgical planning· Staging of breast cancer and treatment planning · Post-surgery and post-radiation follow-up · Dense breast tissue evaluation · Monitoring of high-risk patients with a non-radiation alternative
