Abstract
Breast cancer is a leading cause
of death amongst women worldwide. Advanced diagnostic techniques may reduce the
mortality rate due to breast cancer. Mammography ensures early diagnosis and a
better chance for treatment and recovery from breast cancer.
Breast MRI has been shown to
detect an increased rate of small node-negative cancers in women at high risk
for breast cancer. Breast MRI is a useful screening tool when used as an
adjunct to mammography in high-risk women. Breast MRI is an exciting but
evolving field. Indications and interpretive guidelines continue to evolve.
