✦ Synopsis

Abstract

MRI has proven to be a very reliable diagnostic tool in the detection and differential diagnosis of breast lesions. Some lesions are, even in retrospect, not detectable in x‐ray or ultrasound images but MRI is able to detect lesions at a much smaller size than the average size of lesions depicted by x‐ray and ultrasound. The aim in the future is to develop combined procedures where imaging, biopsy, and interventional therapies are combined in a single outpatient procedure. As a step toward this goal different interventional procedures are useful that include interstitial laser therapy (ILT), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), high‐intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), microwave ablation therapy, and cryotherapy. In this overview the main features and initial results of these procedures are described and discussed. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2008;27:347–355. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
