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.

Magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, is used to evaluate problems with the brain, neck, and spinal cord, or to help doctors evaluate problems in a person's chest, heart, abdomen, joints, or blood vessels. There are several different types of MRI scans, and they are used depending on the condition that the person needs to be examined, treated, and monitored.

Accessory breasts (polymastia, supernumerary breasts, or mammae erraticae) are a condition in which a person has at least one extra breast. Accessory breasts may be present with nipples or areolas. This is a relatively common congenital condition in which abnormal accessory breast tissue is present alongside normal breast tissue.

Breast MRI is a modern diagnostic imaging method that uses magnetic fields, radio waves and computers to create detailed images of the breast. This technique helps screen, diagnose and monitor treatment of breast diseases. So when is the right time to have a breast MRI?

Breast MRI is a paraclinical technique used to promptly detect abnormalities related to the mammary glands, thereby effectively screening for breast cancer. Breast MRI helps to detect breast lesions more clearly that other mammography methods cannot provide.

Breast density is a measure of the proportion of glandular, connective, and fatty tissue in a woman's breasts. It is usually determined using a mammogram. It is not unusual for women to have dense breast tissue. Although the exact relationship between breast density and breast cancer is not clear, having dense breasts or dense breast tissue may increase the risk of developing breast cancer.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the leading cause of death among women in developed countries. Specifically, in Viet Nam, in 2013, the incidence was at 24.4/100,000 women, by 2018 it had increased to 26.2, equivalent to 15,000 new cases, including more than 6,000 deaths.

Breast cancer is a dangerous disease and ranks 3rd in the mortality rate among cancers in women. Currently, the incidence of breast cancer is increasing, especially in developing countries. Therefore, it is very important to examine and screen the disease from the time there are no symptoms. Some common imaging techniques in breast cancer assessment are currently being deployed in many hospitals.
