How Do Ultrasound and MRI Contribute to Breast Cancer Screening?
Ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of the breast and is often used to further evaluate abnormalities found in a mammogram, especially in women with dense breast tissue. MRI is more sensitive than mammography and is recommended for high-risk women, such as those with a strong family history or genetic predisposition. However, it is more expensive and can lead to more false positives.
