The University Hospital Zurich (USZ) is setting a new milestone in breast cancer diagnostics: with the introduction of ultra-fast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), patients can benefit from a more precise, gentler and time-saving examination
Precision and comfort for patients
The ultra-fast MRI enables detailed imaging of the breast tissue in just a few minutes. Especially for women with dense breast tissue and therefore an increased risk of breast cancer, this method offers a valuable addition to mammography: it increases the accuracy of the diagnosis and at the same time reduces the number of necessary follow-up examinations.
Advantages at a glance
- Fast: examination in 5 minutes with administration of contrast medium
- Precise: Better differentiation of tissue changes
- Patient-friendly: more pleasant and shorter examination experience
