MRI changes breast cancer treatment choice; increases time to treatment
More than a quarter of breast cancer patients who had an MRI examination before their initial surgical treatment had their treatment change, according to a study out of Yale University School of Medicine. view more (2008-04-14)
3T MRI Detects "Early" Breast Cancer Not Seen on Mammography and Sonography
3T MRI, a powerful tool for evaluating patients with a high risk of having breast cancer, can detect a significant number of lesions not found on mammography and sonography. view more (2009-05-06)
Prototype Breast Cancer Imaging System May Improve Patient Care
A prototype breast imaging system combining positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technologies could greatly improve breast cancer imaging capabilities, according to researchers at SNM's 56th Annual Meeting. view more (2009-06-16)
Screening MRI allows detection of more breast cancers in high-risk women
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enables radiologists to accurately identify tumors missed by mammography and ultrasound, according to a multicenter study comparing the three screening methods in women at high-risk for breast cancer. view more (2007-07-31)
Magnetic resonance imaging improves breast cancer diagnosis
Women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer in one breast have a higher risk of contracting the disease in their opposite breast as well. A thorough examination of the opposite breast using mammography and ultrasound is therefore common practice. view more (2007-03-29)
MRI more accurately determines cancer spread into breast ducts
MRI is better than MDCT for determining if and how far breast cancer has spread into the breast ducts and should be used before patients receive breast conserving therapy, a new study shows. view more (2006-09-05)
Kinetic variable most useful for identifying malignant MRI-detected breast lesions identified
Breast MRI allows physicians to evaluate suspicious lesions using a variety of variables. view more (2009-08-19)
Breast MRI may help determine surgical management of women with newly diagnosed breast cancer
Among women who are newly diagnosed with breast cancer, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the breast appears helpful in determining surgical treatment. view more (2007-05-22)
Use of breast MRI can be cost-effective for some women at high-risk of breast cancer
A computer model simulation suggests that adding breast MRI screening may be cost-effective for women of certain ages who carry BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations. view more (2006-05-24)
Study challenges routine use of MRI scans to evaluate breast cancer
Reviewing the records of 577 breast cancer patients, Fox Chase Cancer Center researchers found that women with newly diagnosed breast cancer who receive a breast MRI are more likely to receive a mastectomy after their diagnosis and may face delays in starting treatment. view more (2009-06-26)
Specimen radiography confirms success of MRI-guided breast biopsy
Radiologists can help confirm that an MRI-guided breast biopsy has successfully removed the lesion by taking an x-ray of the lesion and slices of the lesion, a new study shows. view more (2006-08-14)
MRI may be unnecessary prior to treatment in most newly diagnosed breast cancer patients
New research findings published in the August issue of the Journal of the American College of Surgeons challenge the routine use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a means to improve surgical outcomes in newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. view more (2009-08-14)
MRI Superior to Mammography for Screening Women at High Risk for Breast Cancer
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the breast is significantly more sensitive than mammography and ultrasound for diagnosing familial breast cancer, according to researchers at Germany's University of Bonn. view more (2003-06-12)
Second Look Ultrasound: Effective MRI Correlate for Identifying Incidental Breast Lesions Not Seen on Mammography and First Look Ultrasound
A second look ultrasound of the breast, used in conjunction with MRI, allows radiologists to identify lesions not detected on conventional mammography and first look ultrasound; in some cases it allows radiologists to determine whether or not a lesion is malignant or benign, according to a study performed at the University of Rome La Sapienza in... view more...

Study challenges routine use of MRI scans to evaluate breast cancer
A new study suggests women with newly-diagnosed breast cancer who receive an MRI after their diagnosis face delays in starting treatment and are more likely to receive a mastectomy. view more (2008-09-08)
New guidelines emphasize use of breast MRI to supplement standard imaging
Updated guidelines for physicians that represent best practices for using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to newly diagnose breast cancer and to make treatment decisions for breast cancer were published today in the Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. view more (2009-02-17)
MRI screening of opposite breast necessary for women with recent breast cancer diagnosis
Women with a recent diagnosis of cancer in one breast should have MRI screening of the opposite breast, concludes a multi-center study involving University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill researchers. view more (2007-03-28)
MRI before surgery leads to better-adapted treatment for breast cancer
The early use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in women diagnosed with breast cancer can often lead to a better adapted surgical approach to the tumour. view more (2008-04-16)
New statistical model could help reduce breast-lesion biopsies
A new method of characterizing breast lesions found during an MRI exam could result in fewer biopsies of benign tumors with the benefits of reduced pain and expense for patients and providers, according to a paper that will be presented today (Sunday, Nov. 30) at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). view more (2008-12-01)
MR spectroscopy significantly reduces need for breast biopsy
In a study featured in the June issue of Radiology, researchers found that imaging suspicious breast lesions with magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy reduced the need for biopsy by 58 percent. view more (2006-05-30)
