Abstract:
Clinical 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; determination of 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.
