A new study from Mass General Brigham suggests tha A new study from Mass General Brigham suggests that ultra-low field (ULF) MRI could one day offer a safer, more comfortable, and lower-cost option for breast cancer screening, without radiation or painful compression. For senior author Matthew Rosen, PhD, this research is deeply personal. After his close childhood friend discovered a lump at age 38, she was told she was too young for a mammogram and advised to wait. By the time she returned for follow-up care, she was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer, a devastating delay that revealed critical gaps in access to timely screening. That experience helped inspire Rosen’s work to explore whether the low-cost MRI technologies his team has spent decades developing could be adapted to improve women’s health, potentially making screening more accessible in communities where traditional MRI is too expensive or unavailable. While larger studies are still needed, this early proof of principle lays the groundwork for more equitable breast imaging in the future.
