With EUSOBI bringing the breast imaging community together in Maastricht, here is a practical abbreviated breast MRI protocol from the Radboud University Medical Center, shared by Ritse Mann and Lejla Kočo (Radboudumc Nijmegen, The Netherlands / Netherlands Cancer Institute (Antoni van Leeuwenhoek), Amsterdam, The Netherlands).

At the Radboud University Medical Center, different MRI protocols are used for breast imaging depending on the purpose:
🕒 ~ 20-minute MRI protocol for diagnostic imaging
⏱️ ~ 8-minute abbreviated MRI (abMRI) protocol for screening

The motivation for implementing abbreviated breast MR imaging (abMRI) at the Radboud was to increase cost-effectiveness.
The aim was to scan more women within the same timeframe with MRI, potentially increasing access to MRI screening while reducing the time women had to spend inside the MRI scanner. Which may be particularly relevant for women experiencing anxiety or claustrophobia or having difficulty lying still.

With the abbreviated MRI protocol, three patients can be scanned per hour. If DWI is omitted, four patients per hour are possible.
Another important benefit is that the MRI scanner is almost continuously in use.
