Breast MRI

RMN Mamar, detailed pictures of organs and structures within the body without using radiation. In addition, it can detect changes in tissue over time. This helps doctors decide if the area of interest is cancerous or not, and whether it is growing faster or slower than normal.

The test is painless. You will lie on a padded table with openings in it for your breasts, and the table will slide into an MRI machine that looks like a donut or a tunnel. The radiologist or technologist will help you position yourself on the table. You will be asked to hold still and breathe calmly. Movement can interfere with the quality of the images. The radiologist or technologist can speak to you through an intercom and will tell you when it is okay to move.
