In response to:

Georgia, I'm not an expert on imaging techniques. It is my understanding that a breast MRI is often a good test to do for younger women with dense breasts, but that it has the down side of more false positives than mammograms. I think most surgeons like to get images from more than one method and then compare them. If there is only one breast MRI in NC where we have three comprehensive cancer centers plus excellent medical facilities in other parts of the state, then access must be a huge issue when an MRI is the test of choice.
