Live chat here on Tuesday on mammograms

Do you have questions about mammograms?

Get them ready because Tuesday we're having a live chat on the blog at noon with Dr. Jean Warner from Mercy Medical Center.

Dr. Warner is the director of the Tyanna O'Brien Center for Women's Imaging. According to her bio, she has extensive experience in women's imaging, including digital mammography, ultrasound and MRI, as well as all imaging-guided interventional procedures including MRI-guided biopsy with a multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis and treatment of breast disease.

She earned her medical degree from the Ohio State University College of Medicine and completed residencies in Internal Medicine and in Diagnostic Radiology at the University of Maryland Medical System. At Maryland, she also served as co-director of the Breast Center and as a consultant for breast imaging on "Ask the Expert," a Web site feature.

Be sure to ask about technology options and improvements that might (maybe, someday) overcome the current problems with tissue density and effective, accurate early stage diagnostics.
