General requirements for radiology departments to participate in the MRIB study.

1	Availability of an electronic image storage system for MX, US, and MRI
2	Full-field digital MX systems with high-resolution electronic display systems available to both the technologist at the time of the examination and to the interpreting physician. Mandatory availability on the display settings of the dedicated workstation of relevant information about the digital images and the examined patient.
3	Breast US scanners equipped with a multi-frequency linear array transducer operating at a center frequency higher than 10 MHz.
4	MR units with magnets with intensity field ≥ 1.0 T and gradients ≥ 20 mT/m, equipped with bilateral dedicated coils (preferably multichannel) and an automated power injector system with double syringe for both contrast agent and normal saline solution. The MRI protocol must include a high-contrast bilateral morphologic sequence and a bilateral dynamic two-dimensional or three-dimensional study with spatial in-plane resolution ≤ 1.5 mm2 (preferably ≤ 1 mm2) and temporal resolution ≤ 120 s.
