Current Status of Breast MR Imaging

Part 2. Clinical Applications1

Christiane K. Kuhl, MD

1 From the Department of Radiology, University of Bonn, Sigmund-Freud-Str 25, D-53105 Bonn, Germany. Received October 9, 2005; revision requested November 30; revision received January 8, 2006; final version accepted February 23. Final review and update by the author April 15, 2007. Address correspondence to the author (e-mail: kuhl{at}uni-bonn.de).

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is emerging as the most sensitive modality that is currently available for the detection of primary or recurrent breast cancer. Although this technique has been shown to be an extremely powerful diagnostic tool, it is still relatively rarely used in clinical practice, as compared with other applications of MR imaging such as for musculoskeletal or brain and spine imaging. This is the second of a two-part series on the current status of breast MR. Part two provides an overview of the use of breast MR imaging in clinical patient care, the body of evidence that supports its use. A discussion is provided on the many controversies that exist regarding breast MR imaging for preoperative staging and for screening.
