What are the Benefits of Breast
MRI?
The list is short but IMPORTANT to keep in
mind:
- Possible additional information for treatment or surgical
decisions.
- Contribution to research that will benefit all women in the
future.
There are no known or assured medical benefits from your
participation in breast MRI research. Such research may improve our
understanding of breast disease and the ability to diagnose and treat
future patients. Should the MRI scan show anything unusual, you are
informed and advised to see your own physician. Copies of your MRI
films are usually made available to you if requested.
