Re: Breast MRIs advised for high-risk womenFrom: DoctorJoe@aol.comWed Mar 28 11:54:01 2007
In a message dated 3/28/2007 11:49:37 A.M. Central Standard Time, GIN11153@aol.com writes: Two reports being published today call for greatly expanded use of MRI scans in women who have breast cancer or are at high risk for it. The recommendations do not apply to most healthy women, who have only an average risk of developing the disease. Even so, the new advice could add a million or more women a year to those who need breast magnetic resonance imaging – a demand that radiologists are not yet equipped to meet, researchers say. The scans require special equipment, software and trained radiologists to read the results, and may not be available outside big cities. My take on MRIs -- THEY'RE JUST BIG COMPUTERS!!!! The price should dramatically come down as the numbers of scans go up. If the prices stay high, then you know what that means ... Joe P.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
