The fact that this is from the American College of Radiology will automatically make it suspect for some of you. Just thought you might be interested in what radiologists think of the recommendations since radiologists are reading the mammograms.

And from the American Cancer Society:

As far as other possibilities for screening... ultrasound is very operator dependent and is too insensitive for microcalcifications, a common presentation of both in situ and invasive ductal cancers. MRI is too time consuming, requires IV contrast and has too many false positives (more than mammography in some series) to be a screening study. Researchers are working on all sorts of things. Only time will tell.
