Because an MRI doesn’t work like a mammogram getting compression to do the work. It uses magnetic fields and radio waves to do the work. It can see inside your body without actually touching the tissue.
Also if there is anything suspicious they could order a CT or a PET/CT, which searches out cancer and lights it up for the doctors to see.
Does this ease your mind any?
