Article • Exploring imaging advances and their impact on radiographers

‘The future of breast MRI is bright’

Breast MRI has emerged as a powerful diagnostic tool, particularly for women with dense breast tissue where traditional mammography faces limitations. In her presentation at ECR 2025, radiographer Hanna Kalliomäki highlighted several technological advances transforming breast cancer detection and diagnosis. From time-saving abbreviated protocols and AI-assisted analysis to contrast-free diffusion techniques and molecular imaging, these techniques are reshaping how radiographers approach breast cancer screening and diagnosis.
