Currently, the answer is no because the MRIs is not being used a screening tool, really, out in the general population or even in young, dense-breasted women. This is due to a couple of factors. One, MRIs are very expensive, and most insurance companies do not cover them. Secondly, like most screening techniques, MRIs generate false positives: things that may look like cancers, but are in fact normal changes in the breast. Presently, MRIs are only being used to screen breasts in closed clinical studies. |
