Aurora Breast MRI

Aurora's Breast MRI dedicated Bilateral Breast Scanner is uniquely designed for women's needs today. The power of MRI has been reshaped and redefined for breast disease evaluation with the AURORA, the first FDA-approved MRI system designed exclusively for breast imaging. Studies have shown that magnetic resonance imaging can be a powerful tool for assisting in the detection or evaluation of breast disease. Its high resolution, high-contrast, thin-slice imaging has the capability to depict very small anatomical structures of the breast. As a result of its unique design and technology, the AURORA delivers higher quality breast imaging than whole-body MRI scanners, providing for efficient image interpretations with added confidence and greater peace of mind.

What is the key to the Aurora’s superior imaging capabilities?

In a word: DESIGN.

The Aurora’s magnet, gradient coil, radio frequency subsystem and patient table have been specially engineered to provide unparalleled image quality and anatomical coverage for a wide range of breast imaging capabilities. No other MRI manufacturer has taken the step to redesign the MRI scanner for optimal imaging of breast tissue.

How does the Aurora Breast MRI work?
  • Breast MRI Scanning utilizes magnetic properties of living tissue to provide safe and reproducible images of the breasts and underlying pathology.
  • It uses no X-ray radiation
  • It does not require uncomfortable breast compression.
  • It does require the injection of a small amount of clear liquid (contrast medium) into the blood stream during one phase of the examination to provide a functional analysis of breast tissue (blood flow related to the presence of breast tumors (Cancer).
  • It is uniquely suited for a number of indications that may be limited with Mammography.
