Breast MRI plays an increasingly important role with high sensitivity, so it has value in early diagnosis of breast cancer. From there, it can be detected in the early stages of the disease and the patient can be completely cured.

Breast MRI or breast magnetic resonance imaging is an imaging technique used to detect breast cancer and other abnormalities in the breast. Breast MRI is often performed after a biopsy is positive for cancer and your doctor needs more information about the extent of the disease. Or breast MRI is used to screen for breast cancer.

Breast MRI helps evaluate breast lesions in terms of location, size, morphology, and contrast absorption. This helps suggest whether the lesion is benign such as inflammation, fibrocystic changes, breast cysts, fibroadenomas, or malignant lesions (breast cancer).

Breast MRI is a technique that uses nuclear magnetic resonance to reconstruct images of breast structures, helping to detect abnormalities in the breast. Breast MRI systems usually have a magnetic force of 1.5 Tesla or more (Tesla is a unit of measurement of magnetic field strength). At Vinmec, the MRI system has a large magnetic force of 3 Tesla for high-resolution images.

Breast cancer is one of the dangerous diseases that seriously affects the quality of life of women. The disease has no clear symptoms, making treatment difficult. Breast MRI allows the diagnosis of lesions and tumors in the breast. What are the risks of breast MRI?
