title: Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Breast.
abstract: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an imaging modality that is complementary to mammography and ultrasound in the evaluation of breast disease. It has demonstrated utility in many clinical scenarios, and shows promise in others. In this chapter, we discuss the indications and contraindications to MRI. We include information that is essential for the clinician to understand when considering a breast MRI for his patient.
