Hospital da Luz Torres de Lisboa now offers breast MRI, a high sensitivity and specificity imaging exam for the early detection of breast lesions. This exam is performed by radiologists of the breast unit, directed by Isabel Estudante , specialists in the area of breast pathology, and referral professionals, in collaboration with Nuno Miguel Henriques , coordinator of the imaging service (both in the photo above). Magnetic resonance is an imaging exam used in the diagnosis and follow-up of multiple diseases in different organs and systems. Among the major benefits, we highlight the ability to confirm or exclude diseases, support therapeutic planning, and evaluate the response to treatment thus allowing eventual adjustments. In the specific case of breast MRI, the main indications are: Assessment of the breast tumor / cancer extent. Evaluation of patients with high risk of breast neoplasia. Monitoring of the response to chemotherapy treatments. Imaging study of breast prostheses and implants. Breast MRI also has a complementary role to mammography with tomosynthesis and mammary ultrasound in the study of dense breast, contributing to the earlier diagnosis of breast cancer. With this exam, Hospital da Luz Torres de Lisboa reinforces its commitment to offer clients the most advanced technological means, thus ensuring high safety standards, diagnostic accuracy and excellence in healthcare provided.
