From http://www.beetmedicine.tv/2009/03/radiologists-identify-breast-cancer-for-su...

It was always a surgeon who felt a lump, did a biopsy and found the breast cancer. Dr. Swisteol, a breast surgeon, tells us how this has changed.

Now, it is usually a radiologist doing a routine screening mammogram who detects the tumor and also does a biopsy. Dr. Kathy Plesser, a breast radiologist, describes the activist role of the radiologist, why mammography is not perfect and the use of sonography and MRI .

-- Peter Pressman, MD
