Breast MRI

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an imaging technique that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body.

A breast MRI is a painless, low-risk exam that can be used to:

evaluate an abnormality or lump
plan treatments and your body’s response to them
assess silicone implant integrity
screen for cancer

Physicians typically use MRI in addition to other imaging techniques, including mammography and ultrasound, to allow for a clearer image of the breast. Your physician will discuss with you if additional imaging is needed.
