Women experience breast changes when they lose or gain weight, and sometimes breasts change for no obvious reason. Age, hormonal levels, and medicines can cause lumps, bumps, and discharges. Minor and serious breast problems have similar symptoms. If you have a breast lump, pain discharge, or skin irritation, it is essential to consult your healthcare provider.
Breast disorders can be noncancerous and benign or cancerous and malignant. Most breast problems are noncancerous, non-life-threatening and do not require treatment. However, breast cancer needs prompt treatment and may involve surgery or other intensive treatment. Rarely do men develop breast cancer, but they should be aware of changes in or around their nipples.
Potential problems can often be detected early with the help of regular breast examinations with your physicians, mammograms as recommended, and MRI. An MRI can give your doctor information about your breasts, chest wall, and underarms.
Everything was so efficient and everyone was super nice in the office. If I ever need an MRI again I’ll definitely be back especially because they have Sunday appointments
Small, professional boutique MRI center with wonderful accommodating staff and experienced, helpful technicians. Thanks to both Christina at the front desk and Jaz on the machine for patiently guiding me through the otherwise multi-part process. The MRI machine is also open bore, which helps for long sessions.
Would highly recommend imaging here.
Everyone was nice and friendly and very professional and very helpful I'm glad I went to get my MRI and the price of affordable I recommend everyone to go there if they need an MRI
Friendly staff, I guess as good an experience as it gets for an MRI
This facility was the location of my 5th MRI this year, and I was somehow still impressed by the service. The office ensured that my insurance was approved before continuing with the booking. All the staff and techs were lovely and the appointment itself went seamlessly. The amenities in the waiting room were great and even the jewelry baggies offered in the changing rooms were clearly a thoughtful addition, but what made me very happy to see was this clinic giving patients the MRI CD without needing to request it beforehand.
I also feel that one of your employees deserves recognition: Regina handled 1. calling me right away to offer another slot after ZocDoc doublebooked me at their office. 2. Calling to confirm my insurance was approved 3. Letting me know I could snag an even earlier appointment 4. Checking me in the day of 5. Also being the tech to prep me for the MRI. Regina is more than an asset to your clinic - as the face front of the practice for most patients, she is setting a gold standard of bedside manner and expectation of care when they first walk in, and that effort, when fulfilled spectacularly, should be validated duly.
Glad clinics like this exist in NYC still.
Getting an MRI is never a great experience. It’s expensive, a little nerve-wracking, and there’s often confusion around results and billing. I needed multiple MRIs and spent *days* calling around NYC trying to get quotes. Some places quoted me over $1,700 just for a facility fee — totally insane.
I ended up going with Manhattan MRI, and honestly, I’m really glad I did. Sharon was super helpful — she walked me through the pricing, helped make it manageable, and was just genuinely kind and easy to talk to. I went in expecting the worst, but she made the process way less stressful.
The MRI tech was also easy to work with, and I got my results right away without having to chase anyone down. Overall, it was as smooth as this kind of thing can be.
10/10. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a place that’s straightforward, helpful, and doesn’t try to nickel-and-dime you.
Thanks Sharon and team!
I was very nervous about my MRI because I’m very claustrophobic and have had some bad experiences in the past. Not here, though. The staff was warm and welcoming and the technicians were very patient with me. MRIs are not exactly pleasant but this was about as good an experience as I could have hoped for. Would definitely recommend.
I’m so happy I found Manhattan MRI! Hands down the smoothest and fastest appointment I’ve ever booked. The entire staff was incredible, friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience stress-free. I 100% recommend this place if you need an MRI. Bonus: they offer complimentary drinks and coffee while you wait. Truly top-notch service!
Great experience with this amazing staff! Emily was so warm, welcoming and helpful. The woman who did the MRI also made sure that I was super comfortable throughout the entire experience!
I came here the other day for a brain mri and they did a wonderful job taking care of me and answering all my questions. The tech was super calm and friendly made me feel at ease 100 percent. The mri is a nice big one that isn’t too claustrophobic like many mri units r . This place rocks I will most definitely be coming back !
Great experience! Very welcoming with a smooth check-in process. Regina, Emily and the staff are amazing and made me feel comfortable. The office is also very clean. I would highly recommend Manhattan MRI to anyone in need of diagnostic imaging.
I personally recommend this place. All the staff is super friendly and dedicated.

And Sharon on the billing is super nice and good at her job reaching me out to solve all my doubts.
Regina provided a great strive with a smile. And MRI professional was very detailed and helpful. Thank you

A very conveniently located MRI center with really helpful staff. They made it very easy and accomodated my schedule. And we got the results so quickly. Definitely a well run operation.
My MRI tech. Jaileen was amazing throughout my whole experience she made me feel so comfortable and at ease.
Easy to schedule appointments with diligent followups prior to appointment to ensure insurance, MRI prescription, and details were fully understood. Very caring and thoughtful staff Jay and Jas were wonderful. MRI went perfectly and all reports/images sent to proper physicians.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic exam that uses a large magnet, radio waves, and a computer to produce three-dimensional, detailed images of structures inside the breast.
A breast MRI looks specifically at the breast and helps physicians determine what the inside of the breast looks like without having to do surgery or flatten the breast, as in a mammogram. A breast MRI can offer more information about the extent of breast cancer than is possible with a mammogram alone. When used with mammography and breast ultrasound, an MRI can be a useful diagnostic tool and help in detecting small breast lesions, which are often missed by mammography. It can show the extent of the cancer or an issue with the other breast.
It also helps discover breast cancer in women with breast implants and in younger women with dense breast tissue when mammography is not so effective. MRI tells the difference between diseased tissues and normal tissues better than X-ray, CT scan, and ultrasound and enables physicians to monitor treatment progress.
A breast MRI can be used in different situations.
They include:
Your doctor may ask for a breast MRI if you have a family history of breast cancer, have had radiation treatment to the chest between the ages of 10 and 30 such as for treatment of Hodgkin disease, genetic disorders such as Li-Fraumeni syndrome, Cowden syndrome, or Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome or have a first degree relative with the syndrome.
Breast MRI is also ordered to find out how well chemotherapy and other treatments are working. When chemotherapy is started before the breast cancer surgery, an MRI can determine how well the chemotherapy is working to shrink the tumor. One breast MRI test may be done at the beginning, and the other may be done at the middle or end of the chemotherapy treatment.
Metal and electronic devices are not allowed in the room as they can interfere with the magnetic field of the MRI unit, cause burns, and get damaged.
Inform your doctor if you have any of the following in your body:
Your MRI may have to be rescheduled or canceled if you fail to provide correct information regarding the type of devices or certain metals in your body.
An MRI is a simple diagnostic test that does not cause any pain. The only problem you may face is lying on your stomach while the scan takes place.
There is no post-MRI care. However, it is best to move slowly when you are getting up from the table to avoid any dizziness or lightheadedness from lying still for the procedure.
If you were given a relaxant or anti-anxiety medication for the procedure, you may be required to rest until its effects have worn off. You will need someone to drive you home. Some people have a reaction to the contrast dye used for the scan, such as itching, swelling, rash, or difficulty breathing. They are usually mild and can be managed with medication.
You can resume your diet, medication, and routine activities unless your doctor has advised otherwise. However, if your exam was an MRI breast biopsy, you will be provided further instructions. Nursing mothers can choose not to breastfeed for 12 to 24 hours after a breast MRI with contrast. Drinking lots of water helps to flush the contrast out of your bloodstream.
If you notice any pain, redness, or swelling at the IV site after you return home, call your doctor as this could be a sign of an infection or other reaction. Your doctor may provide additional or alternate instructions, depending on your situation or medication condition.
After the scan is over, a specialized doctor, called a radiologist will review and interpret the images taken and create a formal report. This report is then sent to your referring doctor, and they will share the test results with you. You can also access your report and images online or have them transferred on a CD for your record.
It is necessary to schedule an appointment with your doctor so they can explain what the results mean and plan the next step in your care. Depending on whether you got a breast MRI for screening purposes, diagnostic purposes, or to evaluate known cancer, your report may look different. Your doctor will help you understand what it indicates.
Radiologists use a system called the Breast Imaging Reporting and Database System, or BI-RADS, to report what they find on a breast MRI mammogram or an ultrasound. This system sorts the results into categories numbered 0 through 6 and helps describe what was found on a breast exam.
An MRI exam does not pose any risk to the average patient when proper safety guidelines are followed, but there may be risks depending on your medical history or health condition.
A breast MRI is a non-invasive procedure that has proven valuable in detecting and staging breast cancer, particularly when other imaging studies fail to provide adequate information. Understanding what it involves and how to prepare for the scan makes the process less intimidating and helps you go through it smoothly.
Does your doctor suspect something unusual in your breast and want to further examine the area with an MRI? If yes, call Manhattan MRI today and schedule a scan to get screened for and diagnose breast cancer and other breast abnormalities. Our specialists offer the highest quality scanning services that focus on irregularities of your breast tissue and identifying your condition accurately to make the best decisions regarding your health.
I had a very good experience with Manhattan MRI. They have a kind and patient staff, good for people with a bit of claustrophobia. The office is clean, modern and comfortable. Jazz, the technician, was great.
