Breast MRI

A Breast MRI employs the principles of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to identify individuals at elevated risk for breast cancer. Furthermore, it serves as a highly valuable tool in pre-surgical planning and evaluation of treatment efficacy.

Determining Cancer Progression:

Assessing the extent of cancer after a new diagnosis of breast cancer.

Evaluating Abnormalities on Mammography:

Further evaluation of hard-to-assess abnormalities detected on mammography examinations.

Lumpectomy Sites:

Evaluating the sites of lumpectomies performed during breast cancer treatment and their subsequent development.

Silicone Implant Rupture:

Evaluating breast implants to determine the presence of silicone implant ruptures.
