Do you know of or have any research data on the Dilon
test?

http://www.dilon.com/

I was wondering if you have any stats with this test
compared to MRI..I did have the Dilon test done last
Nov. found it to be much cheaper $500 than MRI
easier to do/no pressure on the breast, and test
results are given by the time you are dressed.

I am wondering how it compares to MRI.

Thank you Lani,
Jean
