|---|---|
| Description: |
MRI of the breast; drawing shows a person lying face down on a narrow, padded table with their arms above their head. The person’s breasts hang down into an opening in the table. The table slides into the MRI machine, which takes detailed pictures of the inside of the breast. An inset shows an MRI image of the insides of both breasts. An MRI of the breast is a procedure that uses radio waves, a strong magnet, and a computer to create detailed pictures of the inside of the breast. A contrast dye may be injected into a vein (not shown) to make the breast tissues easier to see on the MRI pictures. An MRI may be used with other breast imaging tests to detect breast cancer or other abnormal changes in the breast. It may also be used to screen for breast cancer in some people who have a high risk of the disease. |
