[Magnetic resonance imaging of the breasts]. / Rintojen magneettikuvaus.

Not even magnetic resonance imaging is a perfect method for imaging of the breasts. Quality of the equipment, imaging parameters as well as the experience and competence of radiographers and radiologists have a significant effect on the final outcome of the study. Since interpretation of magnetic resonance imaging of the breasts is challenging, the radiologist should have access to a comprehensive medical history and previous images, including the reports. Feedback from the reports made and multidisciplinary postoperative meetings are important. Since magnetic resonance imaging is expensive and has low availability, it should be targeted at the correct patient groups.
