Which Patients Benefit from 3T Breast MRI?
Patients with recently diagnosed cancer:
• 7% have additional cancer in the same breast to guide surgery and prevent second surgeries and early cancer recurrence.
• 5% have unsuspected cancer in the opposite breast which gets missed today and presents a few years later.
High-risk patients for breast cancer:
• 3T MRI Breast benefits patients with the Breast Cancer (BRCA) gene and those with strong family history of cancer (breast/ovarian cancer in relatives under the age of 50).
• American Cancer Society recommends both annual digital mammograms and breast MRI starting at age 30 for high risk patients (the two tests are complementary).
• Most insurance companies have now recognized the benefit of breast MRI in identifying breast cancer at an early stage and cover screening in high-risk patients.
