Will it be accurate enough to do away with biopsies though? Now that is painful.

Brilliant machine I hope.

But hear hear about Alea's post.
The link doesnt say that it has stopped that. Though if a person has to have multiple screenings, it will stop that it seems.

I didnt go at all to my last appointment, because I think that the previous appointment actually did injure my breasts in some way all be it probably temporary, and I decided that that was worse than looking for cancer which probably didnt exist[no history of breast cancer in my family].

But can they invent one that doesn't hurt? Please?

Mammogram and ultrasound machine combined, will cut out multiple tests, waiting for appointments and accompanying anxieties. Good on yer, SA developers.
