ConclusionsAmong women who underwent MRI-guided breast biopsy, elevated BMI was associated with increased PPV and malignant biopsies. Patients with a higher BMI or Black or Hispanic race who had MRI-guided biopsy were less likely to be undergoing high-risk screening and more likely to have breast MRI to evaluate extent of known disease.
