Breast MRI

RM Mamas

This non-invasive diagnostic procedure uses an electromagnetic field and radio waves (from a transmitter and receiver) to acquire high-definition anatomical images of the breasts. It is a radiation-free procedure. No prior preparation is required. In most cases, it requires the use of paramagnetic contrast (gadolinium), especially if the indication is suspected or confirmed breast cancer. This test is also recommended for patients with breast implants, either as part of follow-up care to rule out complications associated with the implants or to rule out suspected neoplasia. In prosthetic studies, MRI has high sensitivity and specificity in detecting silicone (specific sequences are applied that only detect areas with silicone) in order to diagnose the presence of both intra- and extracapsular ruptures with the highest possible reliability.
