Breast cancer is a malignant disease with a high mortality rate in women. Diagnosis and staging play an important role in treatment. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy is a useful tool in the diagnosis and treatment of 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.

Solid breast tissue is detected on mammograms. Women with dense breast tissue have a higher risk of breast cancer than the general population. Dense breast tissue also makes screening for breast cancer more difficult.

Breast cancer is the disease with the highest mortality rate in women, so most women are very afraid of themselves getting this disease. However, many women have excessive knowledge about breast cancer. So arm yourself with the right knowledge about breast cancer by answering the following multiple choice questions.

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?

Breast elastography (ARFI) is the most modern, non-invasive method of breast cancer diagnosis and has become really popular in the last 5 years in the world. Improvements in elastography techniques allow faster diagnosis with better characteristics to improve breast imaging.
