“The benefits need to be carefully weighed against the harms, as MRI examination is more expensive, and it requires the injection of a contrast agent into the body. MRI will also detect abnormalities that later turn out not to be breast cancer after all” (from U.S News)

In this randomized trial, women with extremely dense breast tissue were invited to undergo MRI screening or received only mammography during a 2-year screening period. https://t.co/tZmcappO00
