Breast MRI

Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death among women with early detection being the key to improved prognosis and survival. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the breast is undisputedly the most sensitive imaging method to detect cancer, with a higher detection rate than mammography, digital breast tomosynthesis, and ultrasound Breast MRI: State of the Art and Future Directions provides a comprehensive overview of the current applications of breast MRI, including abbreviated MRI, as well as presenting technical recommendations, practical implementation and associated challenges in clinical routine. In addition, it introduces novel MRI techniques, multimodality imaging, advanced image prost processing coupled with AI, reviewing their potential for impeding and future clinical implementation. This book is a complete reference on state of the arts breast MRI methods suitable for MRI researchers, radiographers, and clinicians Spans the whole spectrum of breast MRI: basic imaging techniques, indications and interpretation, and the latest cutting-edge techniquesReviews multiparametric MRI and abbreviated protocols, providing an outlook on the future of this techniqueDiscusses the predictive and prognostic value of MRI as well as the evolving field of radiomics/genomics and AI
