Full protocol breast MRI has made a significant impact in the screening and diagnostic settings. New techniques have emerged that may widen access by reducing cost and increasing efficiency while maintaining diagnostic performance. In this session, we will review abbreviated MRI, ultrafast MRI, and contrast enhanced mammography to explore their clinical roles, discuss advantages and limitations, and understand technical requirements for implementation.

Learning Objectives:

Describe the potential advantages and limitations of contrast enhanced mammography compared to full protocol breast MRI
Describe the potential advantages and limitations of abbreviated breast MRI compared to full protocol breast MRI
Discuss the potential utility of ultrafast imaging in conjunction with abbreviated breast MRI compared to full protocol breast MRI
