Mammogram new standards

[Guest guest]

and unwilling hospitals. I was wondering, is anyone else having unbelievable

amounts of difficulty getting an ultrasound, MRI, or CT scan of their breasts as

opposed to getting a mammogram? I switched from U of M to Beaumont thinking that

Beaumont would probably be following the new standards before anyone else, but

it's not so. The only thing I hear is that they need to do a mammogram or they

won't know what to look for in any other tests... Mammograms never show anything

for me... too much white (density).

Now, I've had ultrasounds done of a few areas of my body and they found what

they were looking for without any x-rays before hand whatsoever. How is the

breast so different? How do I get someone to give me a mammogram? Where can I go

myself and pay out of pocket for one so I have piece of mind? If anyone can

please help direct me to a place that will be willing to do this for me, I'd be

thrilled and grateful to no end.

Thanks,
