Effective detection of breast cancer using mammography is an important public health issue worldwide. Breasts that contain higher levels of fibroglandular compared with fatty tissue increase breast radio-opacity making it more difficult to differentiate between normal and abnormal findings. The higher prevalence of breast cancer amongst women with denser breasts demands the origination of effective solutions to manage this common radiographic appearance. This brief review considers the impact of higher levels of density on cancer detection and the importance of digital technology in possibly reducing the negative effects of increased density.
使用乳房 X 光摄影术有效检测乳腺癌是全世界一个重要的公共卫生问题。与脂肪组织相比，含有更高纤维腺体水平的乳房会增加乳房的放射不透明度，从而更难区分正常和异常发现。致密型乳房女性中乳腺癌的更高患病率要求开发有效的解决方案来管理这种常见的射线照相表现。本简要综述考虑了密度水平升高对癌症检测的影响以及数字技术在可能降低密度增加的负面影响方面的重要性。
