Just this past week the founder of a large imaging center in my area spoke in front of our support group. They do all forms of imaging and his opinion was that
-MRI was definitely the way to go for monitoring the brain vs CAT
-MRI better to monitor breast vs mamo.
-CAT was the way to go for lungs
-and you could do CAT or MRI for abd/pelvis
the images he had comparing breast MRI to mamo were amazing(cancer missed on mamo but picked up on MRI)
cumulative radiation definitely was an issue and the younger you are the more of an issue it is.
