Brief summary
500 patients will be prospectively recruited to undergo a fast breast MRI examination. The women will be recruited for the study will meet the following criteria: 1. African American 2. negative DBT examination 11 months prior to recruitment 3. Heterogeneously and Extremely breast densities 4. clinically asymptomatic- no palpable masses, focal thickening or clinically significant discharge. Investigators will identify these patients EPIC database utilizing the date of their last mammogram. Interested patients may contact our research coordinators by the phone number provided in the recruitment materials. The study recruitment information will also be shared with referring physicians. Physicians may also directly refer patients to the study.
Detailed description
500 patients will be prospectively recruited to undergo an abbreviated or FAST breast MRI examination. The women will be recruited for the study must meet the following criteria: 1. African American 2. negative DBT examination no more than 11 months prior to the FAST MR 3. Heterogeneously and Extremely breast densities as graded on their most recent mammogram 4. clinically asymptomatic- no palpable masses, focal thickening or clinically significant nipple discharge. Investigators will identify these women via the EPIC database utilizing the date of their last mammogram. Interested women may contact our research coordinators by the phone number provided in the recruitment materials. The study recruitment information will also be shared with referring physicians. Physicians may also directly refer patients to the study.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Breast cancer detection and false negative rates of supplemental screening with AB-MR | Through the completion of study, an average of 4 year | The cancer detection and false negative rate (per 1000 women screened) of supplemental screening with AB-MR in this population will be measured as well as the stage, grade and subtype of detected and non-detected breast cancers. |
| Additional screening outcomes | Through the completion of study, an average of 4 year | The rates of false positive exams prompting biopsy and short term follow-up recommendations after AB-MR will be evaluated. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The screening outcomes of AB-MR in this population of Black women will be compared to a similar population of Caucasian women undergoing AB-MR. | Through the completion of study, an average of 4 year | The cancer detection, false negative and false positive rates as well as stage and subtypes of cancers will be compared to a similar population of Caucasian women screened with AB-MR |
