Dense Breast Awareness

Dense breast tissue is detected on a mammogram. Additional imaging tests are sometimes recommended for women with dense breasts.

 

How does mammogram spot the difference?

Mammogram shows the difference between fat tissue and denser tissue which has more of the radiographical image of water. And fat tissue, on the other hand, looks darker. So if a mammogram sees a lot of white in the entire breast, then it will be hard to find cancer. And that’s what we called High Breast Density. Some women who have very dense tissue in their breast, there will be a chance of cancer in there that we can’t see in the mammogram. It's Because of the density of tissue around it.
