5-Minute MRI scan could spot hidden breast cancers without needles or dye
NCT ID NCT03607552
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a short (under 5 minutes) MRI technique called DWI that does not require an injection of contrast dye. The goal is to see if it can find breast cancers that mammograms miss in women with dense breasts. About 269 women with dense breasts will participate. If successful, this could offer a faster, safer, and cheaper way to screen for breast cancer.
