Rapid MRI and Contrast Mammograms Significantly Improve Breast Cancer Detection in Women with Dense Breasts
Two studies published in The Lancet and Radiology demonstrate that mammograms with contrast agents and 10-minute MRI are three times more effective than ultrasounds in detecting breast cancer in women with dense breasts and negative mammograms, impacting early diagnosis and treatment.
