Hi @tisme,
Sorry you are going through that. What are you worried about? That there might be something in your chest wall?
I did a quick read on breast mri. It can detect scar tissue and detect things in your chest wall. Its more refined for some tests than mammagram. Ive had one and they insert a contrast die and my results showed the structures in my breast and cancer highlighted in blue.
So the answer would be maybe.
I think if your dr thinks scar tissue then thats what they would be confirming. I know its impossible but if you can think positive thoughts because hopefully it is just scar tissue.
If there is a problem then you would want to know to get treatment but its probably just to make sure right?
