Welcome to the Breast MRI Web Site! This site is here to provide up-to-date breast MRI information and resources.

It is important to note that breast MRI, an exciting and evolving technology, should not replace appropriate standard screening and diagnostic tools, such as:

  • Breast self-examination
  • Physical examination of the breast by a qualified professional
  • Screening and diagnostic mammography
  • Fine needle aspiration or biopsy
