While breast MRI at higher field strength 3.0T technique promises many potential imaging benefits, technical, physical, and safety considerations present challenges for fully realizing these advantages. In this educational poster, we review the clinical utility of breast MRI, discuss techniques to optimize breast MRI at 3.0T, address specific challenges, and provide perspective on additional clinical issues.
