SUMMARY: Breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most sensitive imaging modality for the detection of breast cancer. Its specificity is equivalent to that of mammography. Nowadays, breast MRI is an absolutely essential breast imaging method. Technical innovations allow dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI of both breasts with high image quality. Thereby, DCE breast MRI should always be performed with regard to current standards. New quantitative techniques such as diffusion-weighted MRI are promising. However, they still have potential pitfalls, in particular with regard to the diagnosis of non-mass lesions and small breast lesions. Ongoing technical innovations can possibly help to further optimize breast MRI.
