To further: evaluate BREAST PAIN or a BREAST MASS NOT "picked up by US or Mammography.... Suggest strongly that u ask the ordering Physician or Health Care Provider..... Hope this is helpful Dr Z

Difficult to know: without additional details, but broadly speaking, you are probably either at high risk (which would be an indication for MRI screening), there are equivocal or specific mammographic/ultrasound findings requiring MRI to guide management, or possibly there is a lump or other physical finding not explained by mammo/US.
