Description

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the breast uses a high-field magnet to image the breast.  Multiplanar imaging with different sequences prior to and following contrast administration permits evaluation of the breast tissue.  Interpretation of MR studies entails a combination of lesion morphology and enhancement pattern.  Lesions that demonstrate early rapid uptake of contrast with a plateau or delayed washout over time are most suspicious for malignancy and warrant biopsy.  Gradual uptake of the contrast over time favors a benign process.

Artistically the illuminated  heart behind the breasts is breathing with life.
