Advancements in Breast MRI Protocols: Optimizing Visualization – CE

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become an essential noninvasive tool for the detection, staging, and management of breast cancer, with advances in magnet strength, dedicated breast coils, pulse sequences, contrast agents, and optimized protocols significantly improving diagnostic performance. Breast MRI is increasingly utilized for screening patients at elevated risk, assessing disease extent in newly diagnosed cancer, and evaluating response to therapy. Although evidence-based guidelines from the American College of Radiology outline best practices for breast MRI and MRI-guided interventions, gaps remain in consistent application across clinical settings. This enduring monograph addresses these gaps by providing education to support radiologists and MRI technologists, in the optimal, guideline-informed use of contemporary breast MRI techniques.
