whole breast ultrasound--has anyone done it?

I'm not sure where to post this, so I thought I'd try here....

In addition to getting an annual mammogram, I have the option to get this new whole-breast automated ultrasound. Has anyone done it? What did you think?

My concern is that I have dense breasts but...apparently not dense enough for my insurance company to pay for a B-MRI. So the thought would be to have the whole breast ultrasound 1x/year, 6 months after the mammogram. FWIW, since it's new-fangled, the insurance company won't pay, but it costs about $200 vs. $5000 for the B-MRI.
