Normal mammograms use x-rays to generate images of the breast tissue to search for cancer. MRI, on the other hand, uses a magnetic field instead of x-rays. Therefore, it is not damaging to normal tissue. Also, with MRI, the contrast between soft tissues in the breast is 10 to 100 times greater than that obtained with x-rays. This is why MRI is used much more than, for example, CT (or CAT) scanning, which uses x-rays, for diagnosing tumors in the brain. This leads to greater sensitivity of breast MRI compared to mammogram and ultrasound. For example, breast MRI has a 90-95% sensitivity, which is the ability to tell you there is no cancer.
