What does a breast MRI show?
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI of the mammary glands) is a highly accurate diagnostic method that allows you to obtain detailed images of breast tissue. This procedure plays a crucial role in identifying and evaluating various breast conditions, including:
- Breast tumors: Identify and evaluate the size, shape, and location of tumors, including benign and malignant neoplasms
- Post-Surgical Assessment: Monitoring after breast surgery, including reconstructive surgery.
- Investigation of cancer recurrence, especially in cases where other diagnostic methods are ineffective.
- Diagnostics of inflammatory processes: detection of mastitis and other inflammatory diseases of the gland.
- Assessment of cancer invasiveness: determination of the extent to which the tumor has spread.
Breast MRI is especially recommended for women at high risk of developing breast cancer, as well as for those with inconclusive mammograms or ultrasound findings. This method is susceptible to the detection of early stages of cancer. It allows for more accurate planning of treatment measures.
Indications for breast MRI
Magnetic resonance imaging of the mammary glands (MRI) is especially important for detecting and evaluating various breast diseases, including cancer.
Indications for breast MRI:
- Evaluation of ambiguous or suspicious masses identified by mammography or ultrasound.
- Detection and assessment of the extent of malignant neoplasms.
- Monitoring the efficacy of breast cancer treatment.
- Breast examination in patients with a high genetic risk of cancer.
- Assessment of the condition of implants and identification of possible complications after breast plastic surgery.
Importantly! A complete medical history and a referral from a doctor must be provided before the breast MRI procedure. Patients may require special preparation, including temporarily stopping certain medications and following dietary and hydration recommendations.
Preparation for the procedure
- It is advisable to perform an MRI of the mammary glands in the first phase of the menstrual cycle (usually from the 5th to the 14th day), when the glands are most stable, which increases the accuracy of the results.
- Previous medical reports, including mammograms and biopsies, if any, should be provided to the doctor.
- All metal objects, including jewelry, watches, and clothing with metal elements, should be removed before the procedure.
- If you have removable medical devices, such as dentures, should be removed.
- It is important to inform your doctor about any current medical conditions or allergies, including those to contrast agents and medications.
- If the breast MRI procedure involves the use of a contrast agent, it may be necessary to abstain from food and drink for a few hours before the examination.
Importantly! When making an appointment for a breast MRI, EasyMed specialists will provide detailed instructions on preparing for the procedure and answer all your questions.
The process of breast MRI
The breast MRI procedure begins with preliminary preparation, which includes a consultation with a doctor to assess the state of health and possible contraindications. Depending on the procedure and medical indications, it may be necessary to inject a contrast agent.
After the preparatory stage, the patient lies face down on the MRI table. The breasts are located in special recesses on the table, which allows you to get optimal images. It is important to remain still during the scan to avoid blurry photos.
A breast MRI scan usually takes 30 minutes to 1 hour. Patients may be asked to use earplugs as the device makes loud noises.
At the end of the procedure, the patient can immediately leave the clinic if no additional follow-up is required. If a contrast agent is used, short-term observation may be necessary to monitor the body’s response.
EasyMed provides timely access to breast MRI, offering convenient solutions for scheduling appointments with leading clinics in Israel. The EasyMed team will help you every step of the way, from the application process to getting the results.
MRI of the mammary glands with contrast agent
Breast MRI with contrast medium is a modern diagnostic procedure that significantly increases the accuracy of detecting and assessing various breast pathologies. The use of contrast is especially important in the following cases:
- Diagnosis and evaluation of tumors: Beneficial for detecting malignancies and assessing their spread.
- Determination of the lesions' nature: Helps distinguish between benign and malignant neoplasms.
- Post-Surgical Monitoring: Used to assess the condition of tissues after breast surgery, including removing tumors.
- Evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment: It allows you to monitor the dynamics of the disease and the effectiveness of the therapy.
- Disease Recurrence Detection: Effective for detecting breast cancer recurrence.
Importantly! Before undergoing a breast MRI with a contrast agent, it is extremely important to inform your doctor about any allergic reactions and current health conditions.
Contraindications
Breast MRI is a non-invasive and accurate diagnostic method that helps to detect pathological changes in the breast tissues. However, there are certain restrictions for this procedure:
Relative contraindications:
- Claustrophobia – Fear of confined spaces can make the procedure uncomfortable for the patient.
- Pregnancy, especially in the early stages, due to the lack of data on the effects of the magnetic field on the developing fetus.
- The presence of metal implants or other metal objects in the body sensitive to the magnetic field.
Absolute contraindications:
- The presence of electronic medical devices in the body, such as pacemakers or neurostimulators.
- Acute infectious diseases or a severe general condition of the patient that does not allow him to remain immobile for the necessary time.
For MRI with contrast:
- Allergic reactions to the components of the contrast agent.
- Impaired renal function, as the contrast agent is excreted through the renal system.
Importantly! At EasyMed, we pay special attention to an individual approach to each client, helping to choose the most suitable time for an MRI and providing detailed information support at all stages of the procedure.
Safety of the procedure
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the mammary glands is a highly accurate and safe examination method that does not use ionizing radiation. The procedure is not harmful to the body. It can be prescribed for regular monitoring, especially when additional diagnostics are required in addition to mammography and ultrasound.
The frequency of breast MRIs depends on the individual doctor’s recommendations. It may vary depending on risk factors, such as a family history of breast cancer, the presence of genetic mutations, or previous breast growth.
