Our study results demonstrate that the size of tumor volume segmented by using set ranges of signal enhancement ratio (SER) values, combined with the spatial pattern of SER images obtained at high-spatial-resolution dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging, can be used to help identify those breast tumors at high risk for disease recurrence with high specificity even prior to preoperative chemotherapy.

I believe that mammography is going to be replaced by MR imaging as the standard for breast screening, not only in high-risk women but increasingly in those at average risk

Real-time MR-guided Wire Localization of Breast Lesions by Using an Open 1.0-T Imager: Initial Experience

Link to Journal

The results of this study show that real-time magnetic resonance (MR) imaging guided wire localization of suspicious breast lesions by using an open 1.0-T imager permits correction of the needle position during placement and reduces the interventional procedure time.
