To the Editor: Kriege et al. (July 29 issue)1 show that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) appears to be more sensitive than mammography in detecting tumors in women with an inherited susceptibility to breast cancer. The study design specified that both imaging techniques (mammography and MRI) were judged independently by two radiologists in each center.2 Our concern is that central review of the radiologic findings for the determination of concordance would have been better, given the aim of the study.
