Who is an ideal patient for breast MRI?

This test is ideally suited for women who due to gene mutations like BRCA1 or BRCA2 fall into high risk category for breast cancer. A 13% of risk is attributed to any female for developing cancer at a given point of time. Higher than (about 20%) that categorizes a woman into high risk segment. It is suggested that such women should have a periodical breast MRI and a mammogram test in combination.
