What is MRI Left Breast Contrast?

Non-invasive imaging using MRI technology (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is performed to obtain high definition images of the structure of the left breast. An MRI scanner uses magnetic fields and radio frequency energy to generate a very detailed visual representation of the Left breast anatomy during the imaging procedure.

A contrast media or agent is injected into a blood vessel while you undergo the MRI scan. This operation aids in the visualisation of blood vessels supplying the Left breast, and it allows the radiologist to better evaluate for the presence of any form of abnormal tissue (i.e. Tumour, Inflammation, Abnormal growth).
