The diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer are dependent upon early detection of the disease by physical examination and mammography. Although mammography is a relatively good and cost-effective method of early breast cancer detection, there are some inherent weaknesses associated with this imaging modality that limit its sensitivity and specificity. Contrast-enhanced MRI of the breasts provides the additional capability to answer questions raised or unanswered with conventional imaging methods. This paper reviews contrast-enhanced breast MRI interpretation guidelines and patient preselection criteria for diagnostic problem cases. Technical aspects using a commercially available three-dimensional (3D) spoiled gradient-echo technique are discussed.
