Sheila,

I had a mammogram and ultrasound followed by MRI of my remaining breast. They didn't call it MRI mammogram, but I think it was probably the same. The findings were "probably benign" ...rather get "normal", but I'll redo the process in 6 months. My doctors felt like we needed both because they each have some plusses and minuses. If I were you, I'd ask for both if there are any concerns or suspicious areas.

Good luck.
