No-Needle breast MRI: AI could replace contrast dye for cancer detection
NCT ID NCT07598084
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test if artificial intelligence can create clear breast MRI images without using contrast dye. Researchers will use a special type of MRI scan (diffusion-weighted imaging) to generate synthetic images that might help diagnose breast cancer. If successful, this could allow some women at lower risk to avoid the contrast injection. The study plans to enroll 12,000 adults who need a breast MRI for screening or diagnosis.
