According to the American Cancer Society;
Public Health Relevance Statement: Early detection of breast cancer is highly effective in lowering mortality-rates. MRI, which is safe in terms of no ionizing radiation, can be used at younger ages for early detection of cancer; however, the existing MR imaging methods are not highly specific in detecting malignant breast tumors. We propose developing a commercial system for imaging and quantifying tissue
