BSGI....please read...

I had this test in November...found it to be fast, easy, comfortable,
and much less money than MRI....a bit more exspensive than Digital
mammo, but worth every penny.(my test cost $500)....results are given by the time you are dressed...no waiting...period. You can view your breast test on the screen and the tech explains everything. LOVED IT.

This is the future for better breast health and care.

I had this test also last October (my surgeon and I decided we would do mammos in the spring and BSGI in the fall). It is especially good for dense breasts, as it offers a different type of screening than strictly imaging. I also like the fact that the radiologist looks at the results right away while you are still in the room.
