It was </p> <p>used for chemical and biochemical analyses for long years. It was widely </p> <p>used in medical applications after Lauterbur et al. ‘s study in 1973 (1). </p> <p>The primary screening method for breast cancer is mammography as </p> <p>known. It is the only method that positively affects survival. But its </p> <p>sensitivity and specificity is not 100% and it can be an inadequate method </p> <p>at some ages. Studies showed that: MRI imaging added mammography </p> <p>increased success rates but increased false positivity rates can cause some </p> <p>unnecessary invasive procedures. Although these breast MRI is widely used </p> <p>for screening, diagnosis and staging (2). </p> <p>More than 80 million MRI is worldwide applied yearly. Claustrophobia rates </p> <p>are between 1-15% and more than 2 million breast MRI application is </p> <p>interrupted for the necessitation of sedation (3). Melendez et al. noticed </p> <p>that rate around 30%. Also 3-5% of these cases were interrupted due to </p> <p>the sedation necessitation. Anxiety and claustrophobia can cause sequence </p> <p>repeating, procedure cancellation and important time and labor loss. </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Mustafa HASBAHÇECİ}
