A mammogram can show how dense breasts are including how low or high in density. However, overcompression artificially lowers the radiographic density. Decades since the advent of breast scanning technology, innovations in noninvasive diagnostic imaging provide new options in the field of early detection.

Women with dense breasts are BOTH more likely to develop breast cancer and more likely to have that cancer missed on a mammogram [5] Fig. 1 – Cancer on a mammogram of a fatty vs a dense breast What is Dense Breast Tissue? Breast density is determined through a mammogram and described as one of four categories (Fig.
