Screening MRI Allows Detection of More Breast Cancers in High-Risk Women Than Mammography and Ultrasound

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enables radiologists to accurately identify tumors missed by mammography and ultrasound, according to a multicenter study comparing the three screening methods in women at high risk for breast cancer. The findings of the study appear in the August issue of the RSNA journal Radiology.

In the study, six cancers were detected in 171 genetically high-risk women, all of whom underwent mammography, ultrasound and MRI 90 days apart. Mammography detected two of the cancers while ultrasound detected one. MRI detected all six.
