In response to Role of MRI in Breast Cancer posted by P_Al:


I rethought my former question and I guess it was a bit silly. But I have a real one this time. What is the essential difference between a mammogram and an MRI? Aren't both dedicated to viewing things within the body that aren't visible from the outside? And in conjunction with that, why is the MRI much more expensive than the mammogram?
