ObjectiveThe manuscript discusses landmark studies using abbreviated MRI for breast cancer screening. This includes abbreviated dynamic contrast enhanced MRI and diffusion weighted imaging. Our institutional experience with abbreviated MR protocol for breast cancer screening is also described.ConclusionAbbreviated MRI protocols were found to demonstrate value for screening of breast cancer. It has been shown that abbreviated protocol MRI provides similar diagnostic sensitivities to full protocol MRI for breast cancer in women with increased lifetime risk. Our institutional abbreviated MRI protocol for breast cancer offers improved time and workflow efficiencies and has the potential to increase the number of breast cancers detected and the detection of pathologically relevant invasive breast cancer at earlier stages.Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Inc.
