What is an MRI Breast Scan?
An MRI Breast scan is a safe, radiation-free imaging test that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce highly detailed images of breast tissues, ducts, and blood vessels.
It is especially useful for evaluating dense breast tissue, breast lumps, implants, and detecting early breast cancers.
At Curis Life Multispecialty Clinic in Andheri West, our expert radiologists use high-resolution MRI scanners to deliver accurate and early breast cancer detection and treatment planning.
All MRI Breast scans are done only by prior appointment to ensure patient comfort, privacy, and zero waiting time.
