1. MRI is a useful technique for localizing preoperatively breast cancers that are not visualized with ultrasound or mammogram. 2. Titanium hook wires guided with MRI can be used to mark single or multiple tumors or to localise the anterior and posterior margins of a large tumor. 3. Marking lesions, displayed only with MRI, by injecting radiotracer 99mTc-nanocolloid guided with MRI (MR ROLL technique) can be used to localise the sentinel lymph node (SNOLL technique). 4. Interventional procedures guided with MRI are very usefull techniques to mark breast tumors. This techniques are accurate, sure and fast.

Breast MRI is more sensitive for detecting breast cancer than mammography and ultrasound. There are breast cancers that are only detected by MRI. Histological diagnosis is made by MRI-guided vacuum assited biopsy. To perform conservative surgery, is necessary to mark the lesion with a hook wire guided by mammography (over a titanium marker placed after the MR biopsy) or guided with MRI directly (more accurate). Another method is marking the tumor by injection of a nanocolloid radiotracer guided with MRI (ROLL-SNOLL technique). 1. General description of interventional procedures guided with breast MRI used for presurgical marking of breast tumors (titanium hook wires or MRI ROLL technique) 2. Indications 3. Results 4. Advantages
