MRI Mammography Scan - Book Test at Low Cost

The MRI Mammography is a scan to check the breast abnormalities or suspicious breast lesions that are malignant.

Epidemiology

The 69% of breast cancer that are detected on the MRI are smaller than 1 cm, and the mean size is considered to be about 0.8 cm. This earlier detection then leads to the down staging of average cancer and also improves the breast cancer-specific survival.

Why is the MRI Mammography done?

With MRI Mammography, you can detect the cancerous tissues in your breasts and help you treat them on time before it develops to next stage.

Some other reasons why MRI Mammography is done are as follows:

• For proper characterization of lesions
• To discriminate between benign and malignant breast lesions
• To understand the preoperative staging
• To have a tumor size estimation
• To detect any additional tumor foci in the ipsilateral (same side) and contralateral (opposite side) breast
• To improve the breast cancer surgery
• To assess if you have a hereditary breast cancer gene change, example: BRCA1 or BRCA2
• It can also be used if you have had  radiation treatments to your chest area before the age of 30.

Procedure

MRI of the breast produces clear images of the layers within the breast using a high magnetic field, radiofrequency, and a computer.

It is generally employed as a backup to mammography or ultrasound for breast screening.

3. During the process of scanning, it is fundamental to stay still. Any slight movement can disrupt the desired images.

Note: Loud clanging noises coming from the scanner are normal. In some cases, patient may be asked to hold the breath for a while. Also, to terminate the scan if patient feels uncomfortable during the MRI scanning procedure.
