BREAST MRI
Advanced Breast MRI Technology
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful tool in the diagnosis of breast cancer. Its high-resolution imaging provides superior views of abnormalities in the breast that might otherwise go undetected by other imaging technologies. In fact, the American Cancer Society recommends MRI exams in addition to annual mammograms for women at an especially high risk for breast cancer.
Inland Imaging’s dedicated high-resolution breast MRI and biopsy table features the very latest in breast MRI technology, providing maximum patient comfort and superior image quality.
