From: Peter Attia To: jeffrey E. Subject: RE: This is the technique Date: Fri, 19 Feb 2016 03:36:37 +0000 Mammo is controversial b/c of both the false positive and false negatives. The former can result in unnecessary biopsies and even procedures, but the latter is the real issue in "young" women (those with glandular breast tissue). The only place MRI fails is with lesions purely calcified, but it's not clear these lesions matter. So not sure if MRI will ever fully displace mammo since it's so cheap, but I think it would be crazy not to add MRI to mammo (and PSA) for those who can afford it. Peter Attla,IM.
