“Operation Breast Density — which helps educate and raise awareness related to a particular problem in mammogram reporting — seeks to provide 100 women at high risk for breast cancer with free Whole Breast Ultrasounds and/or Rapid/Fast MRI screenings. The goal is raising $50,000 by June 30 to start the screenings.
The standard cost for a Whole Breast Ultrasound averages around $300 and a Rapid Breast MRI is approximately $500. Insurance often doesn’t cover this additional level of breast cancer screening.”
