Dr. Stephen Feig “Breast MRI offers patients a new tool in the fight against breast cancer. The system is designed specifically for both breasts at one time, and can determine the extent of disease after a traditional mammography. Based on the MRI results, a patient’s radiologist, oncologist and surgeon can determine exactly how much breast tissue needs to be removed during surgery.” “Because of its high sensitivity, breast MRI is a great screening option for women at increased risk of breast cancer because it can detect tumors at the earliest stages. Breast MRI can also be useful for examining patients with breast implants, to evaluate potential leakages.” |
