Confused Female question (mammogram)

I have a strong family history of Breast Cancer, my mother and both her sisters had premenopausal breast cancer. Doctors are recommending my sisters and I get early mammograms done to establish a baseline. I am only 33 years old so my breasts are still too dense to get a quality image and I know they are going to want an ultrasound and/or MRI anyway. My question is how likely is it that my CRPS will spread as a result of the mammogram? I am trying to decide if it is worth the risk or if I should just ask for an US or MRI instead. I already take Vit C daily. I welcome any advice and thank you in advance.
