Increasing research on women with dense breasts is having a positive effect on imaging modalities. It is estimated that between 30–40 percent of women in the United States have dense breasts. Because fatty breast tissue makes it difficult to identify breast tumors on standard mammography exams until very advanced stages, dense breasts are a strong independent factor for breast cancer. Research has shown that it is beneficial for this population of women to invest in additional imaging.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the breast continues to get more play as an important adjunct to mammography in screening for cancer, as its diagnostic value is recognized particularly for young women with dense breast tissue.

Although mammography retains its place as the first-line modality for regular screening for breast cancer, breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has a firm spot as a valuable complementary tool.

Over the years, we have seen an evolution in breast imaging. Screening mammography has been able to detect breast cancer in many women who otherwise have no signs or symptoms. Digital mammography and ultrasound are helping to better diagnose breast cancer in its earliest stages. However, no technology is perfect. Mammography sensitivity is only about 50 percent and decreases to 30 percent in women with dense breasts.
Advanced technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are becoming more widely used for both diagnostic and screening purposes.
