"About 40[%] to 50% of the women in the country actually have dense breast tissue. It just makes it a little bit harder for us to find cancer on the mammogram," Friedewald said. For one of Friedewald's patients, she said that they needed additional scans, an ultrasound and an MRI ...
Radiologists also questioned why the task force did not recommend annual screenings for women with dense breasts, which make it harder to detect cancer. “If you have a mammogram and it shows that you have dense breast tissue, you should get a mammogram every year and you should have some ...
If so, screening facilities where you live are now required by law to send a notification when a mammogram reveals that a patient's breasts are dense. The letters begin something like this: Your mammogram shows that your breast tissue is dense. Dense breast tissue is very common and is not...

Incremental ultrasound cancer detection is reported in 0.27%-0.46% of women with mammography-negative dense breasts; evidence varies on its association with false-positive findings. Computer-aided detection (CAD) is a complementary tool to mammography, prompting the reader to consider lesions on the ...
typically top to bottom and side to side. Standard mammograms are very effective, but are limited by dense breasts and overlapping tissue. Digital tomosynthesis overcomes these issues by taking multiple images of each breast allowing visualization of the breast tissue through multiple layers and angles...

"So we can't claim any impact on breast cancer diagnosis yet," said Paola Taroni, SOLUS project coordinator. "If we prove to be successful, the proposed approach will reduce the huge number of breast biopsies, currently performed after a false positive mammogram. That will be beneficial for ...
By comparison, interpreting a mammogram is like looking at an x-ray; it cannot be manipulated to observe tissue overlays or the back of the breasts near the chest wall. Digital mammography has a wider range of capture data and gives more information about dense tissue, but it still only pro...
