If your breast composition is dense, you are not alone. A woman’s breast consists of fibro glandular and fat breast tissue. A greater volume of fibrograndular tissue than fat means your breasts are dense. #DenseBreastDay #BCAM

Love this animation! It tells the story in 2 seconds. Dense breasts need a supplemental screening to equate to the effectiveness of a mammogram for women with fatty breasts. Both exams equal a primary screening for women with dense breasts. #bcsm @RADbreastMD @flaviasarquis – at Milwaukee, WI
