Interpretation Guidelines
The interpretation approach should also be tailored to the population being imaged. Patients that are at high risk (≥20–25% lifetime risk) are still recommended to have a breast MRI using…

Techniques for Performing Abbreviated Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging
The goal of abbreviated breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is to maximize sensitivity to breast cancer in a short (<5-minute) imaging session that screens women for breast cancer. 1, 2…
Abbreviated Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging Protocols and Clinical Implementation
6.1 Introduction For the past four decades, mammography screening has been the primary imaging method for detection of early breast cancer in the general female population. Mammography screening has been shown…
Introduction to Abbreviated Breast Magnetic Imaging
Although mammography is an effective screening test, it is a suboptimal test. A mammogram is a two-dimensional (2D) image (or shadow) of the breast and its sensitivity is limited by…
