I would check into the Dilon test.
I had this performed in Nov. '07

It is as good/and/even out performes MRI.
Also:
1. It cost a little bit more than a digital mammogram.
I paid $500 in a major NY hospital for the test.

2. You have the results on the spot, I did not even
finish dressing and I had the results.

3. Painless and quiet - you sit in a chair and it is less
pressure than a mammogram.
