Abstract

In the world, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women. Currently, MRI is the most sensitive breast imaging method for detecting breast cancer, although false positive rates are still an issue. To date, the accuracy of breast MRI is widely recognized across various clinical scenarios, in particular, staging of known cancer, screening for breast cancer in high-risk women, and evaluation of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Since technical development and further clinical indications have expanded over recent years, dedicated breast radiologists need to constantly update their knowledge and expertise to remain confident and maintain high levels of diagnostic performance in breast MRI. This review aims to detail current and future applications of breast MRI, from technological requirements and advances to new multiparametric and abbreviated protocols, and ultrafast imaging, as well as current and future indications.
