In women with breasts that are considered “dense” for assessment via mammogram, the sensitivity of mammography is reported to be between 24% and 56% in studies that evaluated mammography along with more-sensitive supplemental screening techniques [1]. These findings, coupled with implementation of Breast Density Inform Laws in 22 states, have fueled interest in offering supplemental screening to women who have dense breast tissue, even in the absence of a national consensus as to whether supplemental screening should be performed or which technique should be recommended.
