Breast MRI Screening for the Clinician: Evolution to Current Evidence-Based Practice

چکیده
The utility of MRI in the detection of breast cancer has evolved over the last few decades. It is now the most sensitive imaging tool available for the diagnosis of invasive breast cancer. There are drawbacks however, namely increased cost in comparison to screening mammography and decreased specificity. Thus, it is important to tailor the use of breast MRI to specific screening populations in order to maximize the benefit to drawback ratio. In this review, the current evidence for screening MRI in specific patient populations is discussed in order to give clinicians the information they need to confidently and appropriately utilize breast MRI as an adjunct to screening mammography.
