- Diagnostic Test: Fast Breast Abbreviated Magnetic Renounce Imaging
Fast Breast MRI Imaging
- Breast cancer detection and false negative rates of supplemental screening with AB-MR [ Time Frame: Through the completion of study, an average of 4 year ]The cancer detection and false negative rate (per 1000 women screened) of supplemental screening with AB-MR in this population will be measured as well as the stage, grade and subtype of detected and non-detected breast cancers.
- Additional screening outcomes [ Time Frame: Through the completion of study, an average of 4 year ]The rates of false positive exams prompting biopsy and short term follow-up recommendations after AB-MR will be evaluated.
- The screening outcomes of AB-MR in this population of Black women will be compared to a similar population of Caucasian women undergoing AB-MR. [ Time Frame: Through the completion of study, an average of 4 year ]The cancer detection, false negative and false positive rates as well as stage and subtypes of cancers will be compared to a similar population of Caucasian women screened with AB-MR
