Breast MRI
Expert diagnosis of breast conditions
Breast MRI at Beverly Hospital
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most accurate ways to examine the soft tissue areas of the breasts. It is a safe and painless procedure that uses no X-rays. Instead, MRI combines computer technology with magnets and radio waves to create clear, highly defined images of the breasts, chest wall and lymph nodes.
MRI allows Beverly Hospital breast specialists to make earlier and more accurate diagnoses for those at high risk of developing breast cancer. For those who have breast cancer, a breast MRI allows medical providers to:
- Determine how well the breast cancer is responding to treatment
- Determine the extent of the disease
- Plan for surgery, if necessary
