Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing whether a modified, shorter breast MRI scan that uses ultra-high strength imaging (without the usual contrast dye) can detect breast cancer just as well as standard MRI — making screening faster and more accessible for women at high risk. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a woman with a suspicious breast lump (rated BIRADS 4a on imaging) - You have a significant family history of breast cancer - You have suspicious lymph nodes under your arm detected by ultrasound - You have dense breast tissue and are referred for an MRI **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have a pacemaker, cochlear implant, certain eye implants, or severe claustrophobia that prevent MRI - You have kidney problems that prevent contrast material use (though this study avoids contrast, so mainly applies to standard exclusions) - You have not yet had a recent mammogram and ultrasound - You have already had a biopsy or breast intervention recently - You declined participation Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
