| Abstract: | W e have known for some time that a dense breast on mammography presents diagnostic problems in the detection of breast cancer. It has also been suggested that women with dense breasts are at a higher risk for developing breast cancer. The aim of this article is to update the reader on current thoughts and data on the above issues and discusses the use of supplemental imaging in women with dense breasts, including digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), whole-breast ultrasonography (WBUS), automated whole-breast US (ABUS), and gadolinium-enhanced breast magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. |
