[cancercured] Re: How Accurate Is Your Mammogram Reading?

Okay, so you only have the MRI? To screen for breast cancer?

If you have had a cancer, that's one thing. They often use MRI's to scan the remaining
breast in the case of a unilateral breast mastectomy, but if it is used as a first tool in
screening for breast cancer I'd be quite surprised! If you are using this for breast cancer
screening, what is the feedback from the people reading the MRI. Do they see a lot of stuff
that they think isn't cancer, but might be? Are they quite sure? Do they ask you about
biopsies, etc? I'd be very grateful if you describe the whole thing as I'm very interested in
breast imaging!

Thanks so much,

Marti
