A high-resolution, radiation-free scan that offers the most sensitive screening for early breast cancer detection, especially in women with dense breast tissue or elevated risk.
Your mammogram might not tell the full story. Breast MRI uses powerful magnetic fields, not radiation, to create detailed, 3D images of your breast tissue. It’s the most advanced tool available for detecting cancer that might be missed by traditional screening, giving you clarity and confidence about your breast health.

How It Works
Step 1: Noninvasive, Contrast-Enhanced Scan
You’ll lie face down on a comfortable padded table as a contrast agent is delivered through a small IV. This helps highlight abnormal tissue. The scanner uses magnetic fields (no radiation) to generate high-resolution, cross-sectional images of your breasts.
Step 2: Precision Imaging for High-Risk and Dense Tissue
Breast MRI can detect tumors as small as a few millimeters and is especially useful for women with dense breasts, BRCA mutations, family history of breast cancer, or past abnormal findings. It’s also ideal for those seeking additional clarity beyond mammogram and ultrasound.
Step 3: Expert Review and Personalized Guidance
Your MRI results will be reviewed by a radiologist specialized in breast imaging. You’ll receive their report and an explanation of your results.
