Breast MRI
A breast MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is a noninvasive imaging procedure that uses powerful magnets and radio waves to capture detailed images of the breast tissue. This advanced imaging technique is typically used to detect abnormalities that may not be visible on a traditional mammogram or ultrasound. It provides high-resolution images, making it particularly useful for evaluating dense breast tissue, monitoring high-risk patients, or determining the extent of known breast cancer. At Revere Health, we use breast MRI as part of a comprehensive approach to breast health, ensuring accurate detection and diagnosis.
When Is a Breast MRI Recommended?
High-Risk Screening: For women with a strong family history of breast cancer or genetic mutations (e.g., BRCA1 or BRCA2).
Evaluating Abnormalities: To further assess abnormalities found on a mammogram or ultrasound.
Determining Cancer Extent: For staging breast cancer and planning treatment.
Post-Treatment Monitoring: To evaluate for recurrence in patients previously treated for breast cancer.
Benefits of Breast MRI
Enhanced Detection: Provides detailed images, especially useful for dense breast tissue.
No Radiation: Uses magnetic fields instead of X-rays.
Comprehensive View: Helps detect small tumors or abnormalities not visible on other imaging tests.
