A team led by Vivianne Freitas, MD, from the University of Toronto found that PEM performed comparably to MRI in breast cancer detection and could serve as a supplemental imaging method for evaluating dense breasts. This is where supplemental imaging such as MRI and molecular breast imaging come into play.

Breast density assessment is important not only for the patients health, but it also has reimbursement implications for radiologists. Breast density can often obscure lesions on conventional x-ray mammography, and so other screening modalities such as MRI or ultrasound are often recommended for follow-up.

Why Breast Density Matters in Cancer Screening Dense breast tissue affects screening in two key ways: Reduced Visibility : Dense tissue appears white on mammograms, as do tumors, making it harder to detect abnormalities. Inter-radiologist Variation : Assessments can vary up to 33% 1 when different radiologists interpret the same mammograms.
