Introduction to abbreviated breast magnetic resonance imaging / Christopher E. Comstock -- History of MRI in breast cancer screening / Janice S. Sung and Elizabeth A. Morris -- Current clinical evidence on abbreviated breast MRI / Christiane Kuhl -- Technical aspects of abbreviated breast MRI : the original approach / Christiane Kuhl -- Techniques for performing abbreviated breast MRI / R. Edward Hendrick -- Abbreviated breast MR imaging protocols and clinical implementation / Gillian M. Newstead -- Interpretation guidelines / Janice S. Sung and Constance D. Lehman -- MRI-guided biopsy techniques / Carol H. Lee.
Although mammography is the primary method used for breast cancer screening, screening mammography is limited especially in women with dense breasts, which includes nearly 50% of all women in the United States. Despite improvements such as digital mammography, computed aided detection, and digital breast tomosynthesis, breast cancer continues to be a leading cause of cancer-related death in women. The recent proliferation of screening breast ultrasound has led to increased health care costs and false positives, with only a slight improvement in breast cancer detection. It is time for a better.
