MRI of the breast is a highly sensitive technique for finding breast cancer. Suspicious findings include masses with an early rapid enhancement and a late plateau or washout. When suspicious findings are found on MRI, breast biopsy is done with vacuum‐assisted core devices or preoperative needle localization. This presentation will review state‐of‐the‐art findings diagnostic of cancer and review MRI‐guided biopsy techniques. Learning Objectives: 1. To learn MRI features of cancer. 2. To identify methods of MRI‐guided biopsy. 3. To learn limitations of MRI for finding cancer.
