linical breast clinical examination, mammography and

ultrasonography are still in certain situations have

some limitations; due to factors in the modality or breast

parenchyma. MR imaging has an important role in clinical

practice in the following situations; determinationof the stage

and extent of the disease in a patient with newly diagnosed

breast cancer. Evaluation of a patient with an unknown

primary tumor. Evaluation of a patient with positive surgical

margins after breast conservation surgery. Monitoring of a

patient undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Evaluations

of breast implant integrity. Screening for breast cancer in

a woman at very high risk for the disease. Breast MRI is

used as a problem-solving tool for a woman with equivocal

mammographic findings.. Despite all advances in functional

imaging, the issue of evaluation of the degree of response

of cancer to neoadjuvant therapy will remain as a major

challenge for radiologist.
