Women at High Risk of Breast Cancer Benefit from Alternating MRI and Mammography

According to research conducted by doctors at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) alternated with mammography at six-month intervals can detect breast cancers not identified by mammography alone.

MRI is known to be more sensitive in detecting breast cancers than mammography, with a 71 - 100 percent accuracy compared to a 16 - 40 percent accuracy for mammography.  As a result, annual breast cancer screening for high-risk women now typically includes MRI along with mammography and a clinical breast exam.
