Mammography is currently the only screening method available with proven capability to diagnose nonpalpable breast cancer. However, mammography does not detect all cancers. Cancers are more difficult to detect in radiographically dense breasts because lesions are obscured by breast tissue. Digital mammography and magnetic resonance imaging of the breast may minimize the problems associated with screening dense breasts. If these methods prove to be useful, more cancers could be detected at an earlier stage.
乳房X线摄影术是目前唯一经证实有能力诊断不可触及乳腺癌的筛查方法。然而，乳房X线摄影术并不能检测出所有癌症。在乳腺组织致密的乳房中，癌症更难被检测到，因为病变会被乳房组织遮挡。乳腺数字X线摄影术和乳房磁共振成像可能会将与筛查致密乳房相关的问题降至最低。如果这些方法被证明是有用的，那么更多的癌症可以在更早阶段被检测出来。
