his article presents a comprehensive review of the critical role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing breast cancer, particularly in patients with dense breast tissue. The review underscores the limitations of standard mammograms in detecting malignancies obscured by dense tissue, emphasizing the diagnostic advantages of multiparametric MRI. By synthesizing findings from recent literature and evaluating the diagnostic efficacy of MRI compared to conventional mammography, this review aims to establish a practical approach that integrates both modalities to enhance diagnostic accuracy. Additionally, it highlights the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration across various fields to improve the precision of breast cancer detection.

The review analyzes a range of research data, focusing on studies that compare MRI to conventional mammography. It includes findings relevant to dense breast tissue, diagnostic accuracy and specific patient populations, recognizing trends and outcomes associated with MRI utilization. By assessing existing mammographic data and exploring the diagnostic capabilities of MRI techniques, the study proposes a comprehensive framework to guide clinical practice.

In conclusion, multiparametric MRI offers significant advantages for diagnosing breast cancer in patients with dense breast tissue, where conventional methods often fall short. The integration of MRI with standard mammography facilitates a more effective approach to early detection and treatment planning. Future research should focus on refining these techniques and enhancing their clinical applications to improve patient outcomes.
