I under diagnosis of breast tumor. I had USG, mammography, biopsy, blood test and waiting for the results. I was sent by the doctor to computer tomography (CT) for lungs, pelvis and abomen test.
However, I wander if MRI could be done instead of CT (fully or partially) and have the same diagnostic value in this situation?
Also, did your doctors sent you to CT or MRI?
I am thinking that I might be send to CT, because queue for MRI in public hospital would be too long. If this is a case, I could go to MRI privately and pay for it, if MRI has similar diagnostic value to CT.
MRI seems to be safer option due to lack of ionising radiation, that is why I am considering this option if MRI has similar diagnosis value.
Unfortunatelly, I didn't ask the doctor during the visit about this.
