[Abstract] MRI is not only important in the detection, diagnosis of breast cancer,but also is very important in the efficacy monitoring of breast cancer' treament. A great quantity of relevant domestic and foreign classic literature during nearly 10 years were retrospectively analyzed in this paper. Elaborate about the value of MRI follow-up in the early diagnosis of precancerous change,in the diagnosis of different sorts of breast cancer, in the diagnosis of breast cancer recurrence and so on. At the same time, the value of MRI follow-up is compared with mammography and breast ultrasound using mass data in published papers. The application of MRI in breast cancer neoadjuvant chemotherapy is also discussed. Based on the clinical work, some cases' images are used as instances. Breast MRI related technical requirements and the matters needing attention are noted.
