Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most effective method of diagnosing breast pathology due to its high resolution in the study of soft tissues and high sensitivity based on the contrast effect. There is still no consensus on the choice of the optimal method of examination of patients after mastectomy and breast reconstruction. Changes in breast tissue that are associated with surgery and radiation therapy cause difficulties in interpreting mammographic and ultrasound images. MRI using a high-field tomograph (> 1 T), a specialized coil and a paramagnetic contrast agent is highly informative in the detection and differential diagnosis of recurrent formations against the background of infiltrative and scarring changes.
