Overview
MRI
- MRI may be performed to detect the breast cancer associated with Paget's disease of the breast.
- MRI is useful in the detection of clinically occult cancer with no mammographic and ultrasonographic signs of malignancy; in fact, MRI has a sensitivity of 95% compared to 70% of mammography in the detection of breast lesions.[1]
- MRI is useful not only to differentiate the normal nipple from the abnormal one but also to evaluate the extension of the tumor.
