The frequency of visualization and size of internal mammary lymph nodes in women undergoing high-risk screening breast MRI is unknown.

The aim of this study was to establish the average size and frequency of internal mammary lymph nodes observed in asymptomatic high-risk women undergoing screening breast MRI.
