Overview
Breast MRI relies on high spatial and temporal resolution dynamic contrast enhanced imaging with supplemental sequences for lesion characterization.
Core Sequences
Include T1 weighted pre and multiple post contrast dynamic phases T2 weighted and diffusion weighted imaging.
Technical Considerations
Use dedicated breast coils bilateral coverage and timed contrast injection with rapid sequence acquisition for kinetic analysis.
Reporting and Indications
Follow standardized reporting lexicon and reserve MRI for high risk screening problem solving and preoperative staging.
