Breast
MRI is currently not recommended for routine
screening. It is usually used for evaluating
high-risk patients who have dense breasts, patients
with a strong family or genetic history (BRCA1
or BRCA2 genes) of breast disease, and for clarification
of inconclusive findings from other detection
techniques. Additional established applications
for breast MRI include: staging of breast cancer,
searching for primary breast cancer in patients
with metastatic lymphadenopathy, evaluation of
patients post chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy
and evaluation of breast implants.
