I had a mammagram done and results said there is a density in r breast at 12:00 called back for a dignastic mam. it was compared to last years.

Do call back: A screening mammogram is done yearly in asymptomatic women. If there is an abnormality seen (a density or mass, ect), then the next step is a diagnositc mammogram where they will put the focus on the abnormality. If the density or mass is confirmed, an ultrasound guided biopsy of the mass will be performed to evaluate whether the mass contains cancer. You do need to have a diagnostic mammogram.

Diagnostic mammo: When abnormalities or possible abnormalities are detected on a screening mammo, usually a diagnostic mammo is performed, with specialized views, to determine whether or not there really is an abnormality. If there is a real abnormality, the diagnostic mammo will help characterize it, and direct further work up, usually ultrasound as the next step. Many times the "density" turns out to be nothing
