Breast MRI is often recommended for women with BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation, high risk of breast cancer and those with immediate family member having the genetic mutation. Breast MRI is suggested for women with breast implants, positive auxiliary nodes and unknown primary carcinomas....
Women harboringBRCA 1/2gene mutations are at high risk forbreast cancer, and thus it's recommended they undergo annual breast MRI screening in addition to mammogram screening. However, some women are finding that their insurer is refusing to cover the cost of the MRI. A new study exploring t...
"Mammographic screening is not enough for many women—breast cancer has remained a major cause of cancer death also in women who undergomammography," said Christiane Kuhl, who wrote an editorial to accompany the study. "We know that breast MRI does a much better job—but is also much more ...

MRI screening improves early diagnosis of breast cancer in all women-not only those at high risk-according to a new study from Germany published online in the journal Radiology.
We sought to determine factors that predict the use of breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) surveillance in women previously treated for breast cancer and the incidence of in-breast recurrences and/or new cancers identified by MRI. We reviewed 141 patients who were treated between 2005 and 2008...
“Breast MRI improves the detection of small, node-negative, high-grade cancers in women at average risk to an extent that the interval cancer rate is zero,” saidChristiane K. Kuhl, MD, Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology at RWTH Aachen University in Germany. “In a...
