[Nuclear magnetic resonance tomography in breast cancer diagnosis--present status and future outlook].
Due to its high soft tissue contrast MR appears particularly well suited for the examination of the breast. However, it was only after the development of breast coils and the concomitant improvement of the image quality that examinations regarding the potentials of MR in breast cancer diagnosis became interesting. Thus, MR of the breast is still in the initial stage. First results indicate that at present the expected tissue differentiation by MR parameters T1, T2 ...) is not possible MR proved nevertheless advantageous for selected cases. Further research is necessary.
