About this test

An MRI scan of the breasts. The person lies face down on a padded table while a magnet and radio waves create the images, and a contrast dye is typically injected into a vein. It is performed on women.

It shows breast tissue in fine detail, including areas that can be hard to see on a mammogram. Doctors use it to check for breast cancer, mainly in women at high risk.

What US screening guidelines say

The US Preventive Services Task Force is an independent US panel whose recommendations cover people without symptoms. Shown for comparison; it is not advice for you.

Insufficient evidence (grade I)The USPSTF says the evidence is insufficient to weigh the benefits and harms of supplemental screening with breast MRI in women found to have dense breasts on an otherwise negative screening mammogram. (2024) · USPSTF ↗ Note: Same I statement covers MRI and ultrasound as supplemental tests; see breast_ultrasound. The USPSTF breast cancer screening statement does not apply to people at high risk of breast cancer (for example BRCA1/2 carriers or others with a high-risk genetic marker or syndrome, people who had high-dose chest radiation at a young age, or people with previous breast cancer or a high-risk breast lesion) and does not address MRI screening for those groups.

Before this test

This is general information about how the exam is usually done, not medical advice for you or your family member. Requirements vary by center and by individual health history — always follow the center's own instructions and your own doctor's guidance, especially for any medicine change.

Guidelines on eating and drinking vary by center. Contrast is usually injected through an IV. Leave jewelry at home and wear loose, comfortable clothing.

Mention when booking: Mention breast implants, a pacemaker or other implanted device, metal fragments, pregnancy, kidney disease or dialysis, a contrast allergy, or claustrophobia.

Afterwards: If you take a sedative for claustrophobia or anxiety, you'll need someone to take you home; arrange this before the scan.
