Abstract

Kernaussagen

Die Mamma-MRT ist ein wesentlicher Bestandteil der Mammadiagnostik.
Die Empfehlungen zur Durchführung der Mamma-MRT wurden aktualisiert.
Anhand der Empfehlungen kann indikationsangepasst die Mamma-MRT durchgeführt werden.
Eine Tabelle liefert eine kompakte und schnelle Übersicht. Ausführlichere Kommentare ergänzen die Tabelle.
Anhand der Empfehlungen kann die „klassische“ Mamma-MRT durchgeführt werden. Tipps für spezielle Fragestellungen, wie zum Beispiel Implantatruptur, Milchgangspathologie oder lokaler Lymphknotenstatus, sind enthalten.
