Breast ultrasound/MRI fusion significantly improves localization of incidentally detected MRI lesions which are occult on an initial ultrasound survey alone.

Study results presented at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 2021 Annual Meeting suggest that breast ultrasound/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) fusion technology may help reduce the need for MRI-guided biopsies.

“Breast ultrasound/MRI fusion significantly improves localization of incidentally detected MRI lesions which are occult on an initial ultrasound survey alone,” the authors wrote. “The ultrasound/MRI fusion technology will reduce the need for MRI guided biopsies and improve patients experience and save costs.”
