Hi Bonnie -
I had Rodeo MRIs on both breasts in November of 2000. This was a new kind of test (the software was being worked out) in those days. I had them on two separate days.
These are very detailed and show differences in tissue. My med onc ordered it as my primary tumor was small, but high grade and he wanted to see if anything else would show up before my surgery.
These MRI's are now in general use.
There is not any pushing or compressing of the breast - they just hang down through a hole in the bed and the image is done that way.
Best wishes for something benign to be the case this time!
