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 test. This is the first textbook dedicated to the subject of abbreviated breast MRI (AB-MR). The editors are principal investigators in the first multicenter trial evaluating AB-MR. Each chapter is authored by a leading expert in the field of breast MRI. AB-MR only takes 10 minutes or less to perform has a comparable cost to screening breast ultrasound and detects twice as many cancers compared to combined screening with mammography and ultrasound. The improved performance of AB-MR is irrespective of breast density family history overall breast cancer risk and cancer characteristics (e.g. type staging invasive or intraductal primary or recurrent). As such it will likely become a routine screening tool in women with dense breasts. Key Features - A background on breast MR imaging including a review of current research data - Fundamental guidelines for implementing performing and interpreting AB-MR - Technical approaches with proven efficacy including biopsy methods - Accurate interpretation presented in an easy-to-read flow chart format - More than 250 high quality color illustrations AB-MR has the potential to help radiologists overcome breast cancer screening limitations and change current standards of practice. This book provides radiologists with the necessary tools to quickly incorporate AB-MR into clinical practice with an ultimate goal of improved breast cancer detection rates and patient outcomes.
