When is an MRI of the breasts useful as a follow-up test?

Breast MRI complements other breast imaging modalities, particularly when more detailed information is needed regarding the extent of a finding, dense breast tissue, or the condition of an implant.

• monitoring an increased risk of breast cancer
• evaluating and ruling out findings related to breast cancer
• determining the extent of breast cancer

MRI does not use harmful ionizing radiation, so it is suitable for situations where precise imaging of breast tissue is needed without radiation exposure.

Breast MRI in the Evaluation of Breast Cancer

Breast MRI can be used to evaluate findings related to breast cancer, rule out the disease, assess its spread, and plan treatment. MRI can provide additional information about the extent of a finding and possible other lesions, particularly when mammography or ultrasound alone is insufficient to provide a complete picture or when the breast tissue is dense. At Visio MRI, access to the examination is straightforward, and the report is provided by a radiologist specializing in breast imaging.

MRI of Breast Implants

Breast implants can make it difficult to interpret mammograms. Breast MRI is a particularly useful and accurate method for examining breasts with implants when a rupture is suspected or when the breast tissue surrounding the implant needs to be assessed as accurately as possible. At Visio MRI, this examination provides a clear way to assess the condition of the implant and breast tissue without ionizing radiation.

• the condition of the implant
• possible ruptures
• capsular changes
• the structure of the breast tissue surrounding the implant

This makes the examination useful for monitoring breast implants, clarifying unclear symptoms, and in situations where one wishes to reliably verify the condition of the implant with a single examination.

How is a breast MRI performed?

A breast MRI is performed using a modern, high-resolution Siemens MRI scanner, which produces extremely detailed images. The exam usually takes 20–30 minutes. A contrast agent is often used, and its cost is included in the price of the exam.

The machine makes noise, but you’ll be given earplugs or headphones if needed. The exam is painless.

What happens after the exam?

The images from the breast MRI exam are evaluated by a radiologist specializing in breast imaging. You’ll receive a clear report from the exam, which you can forward to your own doctor or the provider responsible for your follow-up care, if necessary. In this way, the exam helps provide you with peace of mind and supports your potential treatment plan should further testing be needed.

Breast MRI with or without a referral

You can come in for the exam:

• without a referral, as a self-pay exam
• with a doctor’s referral, if you already have a treating physician
• If you have health insurance, your insurance may cover the exam with a doctor’s referral.
