Aim: It was evaluate experience with the breast MR imaging as adjunctive techniques to mammography/sonography and to comparison with research studies.

Methods: There were investigated 342 patients from 6/04 to 1/08. We used equipment-Magnetom Symphony (Siemens) and dedicated breast coil. It was used to acquire non-contrast T1WI, STIR, than followed by the dynamic-contrast-enhanced images and fat-suppressed T1W with high resolution usable for MPR.

Results: 63 of all patiens were histologically proved - 27 invasive cancers, 5 precancers, 31 benign lesions. Our sensitivity reached 93.75%, and specificity 67.74%. Positive predictive value was 75% and negative predictive value of 91%.

Conclusion: The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value breast MR imaging was similarly like these values in published research studies.
