Lobular breast cance: it appears MRI is better than ultrasound ( which is like mammo) or mammo in detecting lobular cancer. it has not yet translated into increased life span but that may be for other reasons. See article below and discuss with oncologist /breast surgeon https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4499185/
