title: MR imaging of the breast.
abstract: The results of clinical investigation suggest that MR imaging can provide clinically important information that cannot be obtained with conventional imaging methods, and that this modality will, in the future, be an invaluable adjunctive breast imaging tool, just as breast imaging is today. MR imaging as a method to detect, diagnose, and stage breast cancer remains in the investigational stage, but is emerging as perhaps the most promising imaging modality for breast cancer detection.
