MRI of Both Breast Screening Price in Bangladesh

What is MRI of Both Breast Screening?

MRI of both breasts for screening is a highly sensitive imaging technique used to detect breast cancer, especially in women with a high risk due to factors like family history or dense breast tissue. It provides detailed images of breast tissue and can help identify tumors that might not be visible on mammograms or ultrasounds.

During the procedure, you will lie face down on an MRI table, with openings for the breasts, while the scanner captures images. A contrast dye is often injected to enhance image clarity.

No special preparation is typically required, though fasting may be recommended if contrast is used. Risks are minimal but can include allergic reactions to the contrast dye and mild discomfort from remaining still.

This screening is particularly useful for early detection of abnormalities in high-risk individuals.

What to expect & how to prepare

An MRI scanner uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves — not X-rays — to build detailed images of soft tissue. You lie still inside the scanner while it makes loud knocking noises; ear protection is provided.

• Metal and implants: tell the centre before your appointment about any pacemaker, defibrillator, cochlear implant, aneurysm clip, insulin pump, metal fragment or recent surgery — some implants make MRI unsafe.
• Belongings: you will remove watches, jewellery, cards, hairpins and anything metallic, and you may be asked to change into a gown.
• Fasting: routine MRI needs no fasting. Fasting is only needed for certain contrast or abdominal studies, and the centre will tell you when it applies.
• Duration: an MRI usually takes longer than an X-ray — ask the centre how long your scan is scheduled for.

MRI uses no ionising radiation. If a contrast injection is planned, tell the staff about kidney disease, previous contrast reactions, allergies, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Performed by a radiology team, normally on a doctor's request with a clinical question.
