In the United States, breast cancer is the most common non-skin cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related death in women.¹ Early detection and treatment can often mean the difference between life and death.

Based on new evidence on the efficacy of breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) screening in high risk patients, the American Cancer Society (ACS) has issued new guidelines for the early detection of breast cancer which include MRI.² Additionally, MRI is emerging as an important tool in the treatment of breast cancer patients to evaluate the extent of disease, assess tumor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and for surgeons in preoperative planning.

Each month, this series brings to learners a variety of breast MRI cases. Expert faculty will share their experience and approach to breast MRI in their breast MRI practice.

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be more confident to:

• Develop a systematic strategy to interpret breast MRI images and improve diagnostic accuracy
• Use standardized terminology to assess and report breast MRI abnormalities in accordance with ACR BI-RADS® for MRI
• Evaluate the role of morphology and kinetics when assessing a breast lesion
