Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an advanced diagnostic tool that provides detailed, high-resolution images of breast tissue. It is especially useful for detecting early-stage breast cancer, evaluating tumor size, and monitoring treatment responses. Dr. Ananya, an expert in oncoplastic breast surgery, often recommends MRI when mammography and ultrasound results are inconclusive.
Breast MRI uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create three-dimensional images, offering superior clarity compared to traditional imaging methods. It is particularly beneficial for women with dense breast tissue, genetic predisposition to breast cancer, or those with implants that may obscure mammogram results. Unlike X-rays, MRI does not use radiation, making it a safer option for long-term monitoring.
A contrast dye (gadolinium) is typically injected into a vein to enhance the visibility of abnormal tissues. MRI is highly sensitive, making it effective in detecting small tumors that might be missed by other imaging techniques. However, due to its detailed imaging, MRI can sometimes lead to false positives, which is why Dr. Ananya stresses the importance of correlating MRI findings with other tests like biopsy or ultrasound.
MRI is also used for pre-surgical planning in breast cancer patients, helping surgeons determine the best approach for tumor removal while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. If you need an expert opinion on breast MRI and advanced cancer screening, connect with Dr. Ananya.
