Note: All policy statements below refer to performing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the breast with contrast and a breast coil. MRI of the breast without a breast coil, regardless of the clinical indication, is considered investigational. See additional comments in Policy Guidelines about the breast imaging team and the need for breast MRI centers to perform MRI-guided biopsy and localiza...

case presentation we present a case with a typical picture of myocarditis but normal echocardiographic findings, the diagnosis of which was confirmed by cardiac mri. discussion in particular, cardiac mri data are useful in borderline cases or in the presence of discrepancy between clinical picture and echocardiographic results. introduction the diagnosis of myocarditis based on a spectrum of fi...

Angiomatosis of the breast is an extremely rare, benign vascular lesion. This is a diagnostic challenge, given the limited number of cases reported in the literature. Additionally, due to similar features of the more common malignant vascular tumor, angiosarcoma familiarity with angiomatosis in the differential diagnosis is important. We present a case of angiomatosis of the breast in a 28-year...

Breast cancer continues to be a significant public health problem in the world. Early detection is the key for improving breast cancer prognosis. Mammography is currently the primary method of early detection. But recent research has shown that many cases missed by mammography can be detected in Breast DCE-MRI. Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging is emerging as the most sensitive modality that is c...
