Breast MRI in Glendale, California
The most sensitive breast imaging available, used for high-risk screening, dense breast tissue and further evaluation after a mammogram. 3 Tesla precision, no radiation.
What is a breast MRI?
Breast MRI uses a magnet, radio waves and contrast to show blood flow through breast tissue. Because cancers tend to recruit their own blood supply, MRI can reveal findings that a mammogram or ultrasound cannot, especially in dense tissue.
It complements rather than replaces mammography, and is most often used for high-risk screening, a known genetic mutation, a strong family history, or to clarify something already seen. Our Glendale team pairs breast MRI with 3D mammography and Sonocine automated ultrasound for complete breast care.
