Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) screening for breast cancer has greater sensitivity than conventional mammographic screening. Digital mammography gives maximum sensitivity in younger women with denser breasts. Combining MRI with digital mammography is likely to give maximum sensitivity. This additional sensitivity offered by MRI has the potential to identify breast cancer at an earlier stage, when the tumours are smaller in size and are not associated with metastases to regional lymph nodes.
