Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women worldwide. The National Cancer Institute estimates that women in the United States have a 1-in-8 chance of developing breast cancer during their lifetime. Breast MRI is an integral part of Siemens comprehensive Breast Care Solution. MR imaging provides important complementary diagnostic information, supporting first-line mammography exams and giving more details for women with dense breasts, implants, and/or a high genetic risk. 
American Cancer Society’s new screening guidelines will impact up to 1.4 million women. A high percentage of these women will benefit from breast MRI (www.cancer.org).
