   Breast MRI studies are now available using the 3T MRI.  It is not intended to replace mammography/ breast  ultra-sound, but is used as a supplemental tool - to aid the diagnosis of breast conditions, assess the integrity of breast implants, guide breast biopsy procedures and/or monitor response to therapy.

  3)  A range of breast screening options are available
