The future of breast imaging: a date with density

About 60% women in Europe enrolled in a national breast cancer screening programme who have a screening mammogram can feel reasonably confident that radiologists will be able to diagnose early-stage breast cancer. But what about the 30% categorised as having dense breasts, and the 10% who have extremely dense breasts? At the 2025 SBI (Society of Breast Imaging) Breast Imaging Symposium held in Colorado Springs, USA, Prof. Ruud Pijnappel, MD, PhD, discussed current clinical trials addressing breast screening of dense-breasted women.
