Screening Mammograms with AI Technology

All mammography exams at Johns Hopkins Medical Imaging sites have been utilizing a secondary AI software since early 2024. No additional fees are charged to patients for this secondary level of review as part of our commitment to provide equitable patient access to the latest in technology and software. Our board-certified breast imaging specialized radiologists will continue to read and report on all exams. Learn more.

Fast Breast MRI at Bethesda

Also known as abbreviated breast MRI, this is a self-pay screening exam for women who may not qualify for a conventional Breast MRI. With less than 10 minutes of scan time, women who are informed they have dense breasts after their mammogram may be recommended for a fast breast MRI by their provider. The out-of-pocket cost at Johns Hopkins Medical Imaging is $475. At this time, Fast Breast MRIs are only available at our Bethesda location. Learn more.
