Breast MRI

Magnetic resonance imaging of the breast (breast MRI), commonly used for dense breasts, is a highly accurate imaging modality for detecting early breast cancer and other abnormalities without using excess radiation. It’s often used alongside digital mammograms and digital breast tomosynthesis to offer detailed visualization of breast lesion margins.

Deep learning expedites normal findings on ultrafast breast screenings

AI can safely and accurately identify healthy breast tissue on ultrafast breast MRI, negating the need for a radiologist’s closer look and, in the process, lowering cancer screening costs and widening patient access to breast MRI.

Imaging features predict survival in patients with luminal breast cancer

Researchers have developed a prediction model that takes into account both imaging (post-NAC breast MRI) and clinical-pathologic features when forecasting patients' overall survival.

Abbreviated breast MRI deemed an attractive screening option—sometimes

AB-MRI is a cost-effective means of screening women with dense breast tissue for breast cancer—as long as the per-exam costs don’t top 82% of what would have been spent to perform full-protocol breast MRI.

Screening breast MRI results in more downstream healthcare costs than mammography alone

Women who underwent magnetic resonance imaging experienced more subsequent scans, procedures, healthcare visits and hospitalizations.

Survey reveals widespread confusion among women about the density of their breasts

The uncertainty among respondents occurred, despite all receiving their mammograms in facilities with density notifications, according to new research.

Private equity makes ‘strategic growth investment’ in heart CT, MR firm Circle Cardiovascular Imaging

Financial terms were not disclosed, but the two said the funds will fuel future expansion of its AI-based products, used for reading, reporting and processing images.

Mayo Clinic offers new guidance on supplemental screening of women with dense breasts

There are not yet consensus-based guidelines available for screening women with dense breast tissue, so researchers at Mayo Clinic recently developed a set of recommendations regarding supplemental screening.
