Breast imaging

Abnormal breast findings require careful assessment. Depending on the clinical question, breast MRI complements clinical examination and other imaging methods.

Focus of examinations

• MRI of the breast in justified indication
• Assessment compared to preliminary examinations
• Design of image-controlled Biopsies

Bringing together the findings

Mammogram, Ultrasound, MRI and tissue examination have different functions. Which combination is necessary is decided with the participating disciplines.

No blanket precautionary recommendation

A breastMRI is not the right preventive examination for every patient. Risk, preliminary findings and medical questions determine the use.
