Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this article is to describe the use of abbreviated breast MRI protocols for improving access to screening for women at intermediate risk. CONCLUSION: Breast MRI is not a cost-effective modality for screening women at intermediate risk, including those with dense breast tissue as the only risk. Abbreviated breast MRI protocols have been proposed as a way of achieving efficiency and rapid throughput. Use of these abbreviated protocols may increase availability and provide women with greater access to breast MRI.
