Breast imaging at 7.0 Tesla offers new diagnostic possibilities that have the potential to improve staging and follow-up of breast cancer patients. In this abstract we show that bilateral contrast-enhanced breast MRI at 7.0 Tesla is feasible for clinical implementation meeting the standards of the clinically applied BI-RADS-MRI criteria.
