title: Establishing a comprehensive breast magnetic resonance imaging service in a community hospital.
abstract: Advances made since the first application of breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the late 1980s have made it an integral complement to a comprehensive breast assessment centre. Incorporating breast MRI into an existing practice can appear daunting, but a structured and organized approach allows for a smoother transition. With a well thought out plan that engages all team members and experience in interpretation and performing of interventional procedures, breast MRI will serve to add valuable information in patient management.
