NCT ID NCT03729115

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study enrolls 400 women at high risk for breast cancer to see if a shorter, abbreviated MRI scan works as well as a full-length MRI for early detection. Participants will get MRI scans every 6 months. The goal is to develop faster, personalized screening that could make regular monitoring easier and more accessible.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to faster, more accessible MRI screening for women at high risk of breast cancer, enabling earlier detection.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage registry study, not a treatment trial. The faster MRI may not be as accurate as the full scan, and results may not apply to all populations.
