Advanced Breast Imaging with MRI

Breast MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a powerful, non-invasive diagnostic tool that provides detailed images of breast tissue. At Tesla MRI, our advanced scanners offer:

  • High-resolution 3D images of breast tissue
  • The ability to detect small abnormalities that may be missed by mammography or ultrasound
  • No exposure to ionizing radiation, making it safe for repeated examinations
  • Enhanced imaging with contrast dye to highlight areas of concern
  • High-resolution 3D images of breast tissue
  • The ability to detect small abnormalities that may be missed by mammography or ultrasound
  • No exposure to ionizing radiation, making it safe for repeated examinations

Breast MRI is particularly valuable for:

  • Screening high-risk patients
  • Monitoring response to chemotherapy
  • Examining breast implants
  • Investigating inconclusive findings from other imaging methods

Our experienced radiologists specialize in interpreting these complex images, ensuring you receive accurate and timely results.

Breast MRI vs. Mammogram vs. Ultrasound

Each breast imaging technique has its strengths:

Breast MRI

 Provides detailed 3D images using magnetic fields. It’s more sensitive than mammography and ultrasound, making it valuable for high-risk patients.

Mammogram

Uses X-rays to examine breast tissue. It’s the primary screening tool for evaluating breast health in most women.

Ultrasound

Uses sound waves to create images. It’s often used to distinguish between solid masses and fluid-filled cysts.

Breast MRI outperforms ultrasound and mammogram in key ways. MRI is particularly useful for women with implants with ruptures after an accident. While mammograms and ultrasounds are still important, breast MRI’s advanced technology provides crucial details in complex cases or when other scans are unclear.

Your doctor will recommend the most appropriate imaging method based on your individual needs and risk factors.

Preparing for Your Breast MRI

To ensure the best possible results from your breast MRI:

  • Inform us of any medical conditions, especially kidney problems or allergies.
  • Tell us if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Remove all metal objects (jewelry, hair clips, etc.) before the scan.
  • Wear comfortable clothing without metal fasteners, or change into a provided gown.
  • For premenopausal women, scheduling your MRI between days 7-14 of your menstrual cycle may improve image quality.
  • Avoid wearing deodorant, powder, or lotion on your breasts and underarms on the day of the exam.

If you have breast implants or any medical devices, please inform our staff when scheduling your appointment.
