Bilateral Breast MRI
What is Bilateral Breast MRI?
Bilateral Breast MRI is a non-invasive method of medical imaging that uses a strong magnetic field to obtain breast images. Mammography utilizes X-Ray technology and compression of the breast. Bilateral Breast MRI provides 3-D images of breasts, chest wall, and the lymph nodes located under each arm. Bilateral Breast MRI means we obtain all these images of at the same time. These high-resolution bilateral Breast MRI images allow specialists to make more accurate diagnoses and catch breast cancer at an earlier stage.
During the exam it is necessary to have an injection of gadolinium. The injection enhances your bilateral Breast MRI images.
The key to surviving breast cancer is early detection and treatment. Bilateral Breast MRI plays a vital role in diagnosing unsuspecting cancers in high-risk patients, staging the extent of disease, and treatment planning.
Why Aurora 1.5T Bilateral Breast MRI?
The Aurora 1.5T dedicated bilateral Breast MRI system is the only FDA-approved dedicated bilateral Breast MRI system on the market. The Aurora Breast MRI uses proprietary imaging techniques to produce fast, consistent, clinically advanced bilateral Breast MRI examinations. Our expert interpretations are enhanced by the Aurora integrated Computer-Aided-Detection (CAD) system. The unique design of the Aurora bilateral Breast MRI provides this superior imaging capability while maximizing patient comfort during the examination.
A major advantage to the Aurora 1.5T dedicated bilateral Breast MRI system is the elliptical field of view. Not only are both breasts scanned at the same time, but also, the axillae and chest wall. In addition, the Aurora system has a fully integrated interventional functionality; MRI-guided biopsies can be performed accurately and quickly.
For Physicians - The Aurora Dedicated Breast MRI System Among the most sophisticated diagnostic instruments available, Aurora can be utilized in all phases of breast cancer care: pre-surgical planning, post-operative follow-up and screening of high-risk patients.

Aurora Breast MRI Imaging may be indicated to identify and characterize malignant vs. benign lesions in women with equivocal mammography and/or ultrasound findings and thereby reduce the number of biopsies resulting from false positive mammograms and/or ultrasounds examinations. These attributes are especially important in women with impaired mammography due to dense breasts.

Aurora Breast MRI imaging may be indicated to detect occult primary breast cancer in women presenting with metastatic disease and no known primary tumor. Aurora Breast MRI imaging may also be indicated to detect occult disease in the contralateral breast or multifocal/multicentric disease in the ipsilateral breast.

Aurora Breast MRI imaging may be indicated to distinguish post-operative and/or post-radiation therapy scarring from recurrent cancer. Aurora Breast MRI imaging may also be indicated to evaluate chemotherapeutic effectiveness and the extent of residual disease in patients undergoing neoadjuvant or induction chemotherapy and to monitor effectiveness of chemopreventive therapy such as Tamoxifen.
