Can find additional: Cancer in up to 20% of cases. Make sure you have your MRI done at 3t if possible - it is more sensitive.

Find Occult Cancer: Mammograms are more-or-less useless in a 29 yr old woman due to the density of the breast tissue. An MRI is a much more sensitive test for cancer and will help look at both breasts.
