Image: Molecular Breast Imaging (right) detected 3.6 times as many invasive cancers as digital mammography (left) in the latest study of more than 1,500 women with dense breast tissue. About half of screening-age women have dense breast tissue, which digital mammography renders the same whitish shade as tumors. Results are published in the American Journal of Roentgenology (Photo courtesy of the Mayo Clinic / AJR).

New Screening Method Can Significantly Improve Detection of Breast Cancers in Dense Breast Tissue

A large percentage of women of screening age have dense breast tissue. Dense breast tissue is difficult to distinguish from and obscures tumors in X-ray mammography images.  More...
