According to a study published in Radiology, breast MRI is seen as the superior screening method for detecting breast cancer in women with dense breasts. In the U.S. 47% of women have dense breasts, which is an independent risk factor of breast cancer. Although screening mammography can detect up to 98% of cancer in fatty breasts, there...Read more

According to a new study, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may identify additional breast cancers that are sometimes potentially more aggressive than those found on mammography. Researchers say that, in some cases, MRI findings of additional cancers not seen on mammography may necessitate a change in treatment. The results are published in the journal...Read more

Breast density remains a hot topic in radiology, and although much is known about the impact of breast density on mammographic screening, what to do with that information is not always clear. Polarisation of opinion on the pros and cons of mammographic screening has left women confused, and hindered early detection of breast cancer, according to Professor...Read more
