Breast density is divided into four categories, from lowest to highest amounts of fibroglandular tissue composition. Category A: Almost entirely fatty (least amount of fibroglandular tissue). Category B: Scattered fibroglandular tissue. Category C: Heterogeneously dense. Category D: Extremely dense (most amount of fibroglandular tissue).
