Two non-diagnostic mammogram images from patient exam – one of each breast

 

Percentage of breast tissue that is dense

 

Reference images to show where patient’s breast density falls within the BI-RADS a, b, c, d categories. Arrow indicates where density sits within the range for that category on a continuous scale

Only patients with a normal result will receive the Volpara Thumbnail.

Knowledge is power

Dense breast risks

  • Breast density has been identified as the most common risk factor for breast cancer.¹
  • Women with dense breats may be 4-6x more likely to get breast cancer.²
  • Up to fifty percent of women have dense breast tissue.³
  • Dense tissue can both appear white on a mammogram, which can hide cancer.¹
