New MRI tracer shows promise for dense breast cancer screening
Researchers tested molecular breast imaging with MRI in 940 women with dense breasts at high cancer risk. MRI detected 10 of 13 tumors, mammography missed three, and combining both methods would have found 11 of 13 tumors. The approach offers potential as an extra tool for high risk women and may cost less than MRI.
