C
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.
