Abstract
<b>OBJECTIVE.</b> Fast breast MRI protocols have the same sensitivity as conventional protocols, but their specificity is variable and can be inadequate. An ultrafast sequence provides early enhancement of lesion characteristics that optimize the characterization of the fast protocol, increasing positive predictive values without increasing time. <b>CONCLUSION.</b> These new abbreviated protocols could constitute a viable screening tool both for women at high risk of breast cancer and for those at intermediate risk with high breast density.
