Imaging for Dense Breasts

Mammograms are 30-40% less sensitive in women with dense breast tissue, making it more difficult to see cancer. Fast Breast MRI doesn't replace your mammogram, but it is an extra screening tool for women with dense breast tissue who are at average risk. Chief of Breast Imaging Timothy B. Rooney, MD, explains more. Find out more at: https://uvahealth.com/services/breast... It's difficult to read a dense breast mammogram. And the dense breasts refers to the whitish parenchymal tissue that can hide underlying issues. When a patient comes in for a diagnostic visit, it's important that they know that they will meet with or consult with a radiologist on-site. But that visit will be tailored, and it's one of the things that we do best is creative tailoring to an examination. So if a woman receives this notice of dense breast tissue, what should she do? What should she think? What UVA is calling fast MRI— a 10 minute MRI exam, and a contrast-enhanced mammography exam. Those two examinations are really finding more cancers because they look for cancer in a different way. When you come to UVA, you have academic radiologists who are breast specialists, and that's all they do. The more one practices, the more one has experience in a certain realm, the better one is at that practice. And so at UVA, having a dynamic teaching program with learners who are pushing us, it doesn't just make us good teachers, it makes us better clinicians. Research that pushes us offers better technology and better care for our patients today.
