Hey everybody, welcome to this week's episode of Red Pillar Healthcast. My name is Dr. Charlie Faganholz,

here with Lauren Johnson, and we got five more questions to answer. So let's start out with the first one.

Could you talk about the risks of these on your podcast? Well, yes, we can, especially MRIs. I've been

doing ultrasounds the last couple of years. At my yearly ultrasound, they did a new questionnaire and my extended family history flagged me as having a 22% chance of getting breast cancer as they want me to get an MRI.

I qualified for it because it was over 20% chance.

I have the double gene mutation for MTHR.

See everyone is obsessed with MTCFR, and I am concerned about the

dye used for an MRI.

And I, uh, and also concerned about a high rate of false positives with the MRI that require

a biopsy.

I think those are all valid, valid questions.

What do you think, Lauren?

Very valid questions.

Um, I think I like MRI better. Is it always done with contrast when we're doing a breast screening? Not sure. Don't deal with enough breasts.

That would be my question. I would wonder if it's always done because if it's not done with contrast, then you really don't have the same risk. It's no radiation.

Like it's, it's the contrast I would have concerns about weighing that versus the radiation.

If you were anywhere near, what was her name?

Well, Dr.

Kennealy has what.

It's called QT imaging, think it's the new it will be

the future of breast cancer screening it's no radiation uh it does not squeeze your breasts um and it's

way it's very very very sensitive i think it creates like a 3d model i do not have one anywhere near me
