Mammo shows heterogeneously dense breasts birads 2 benign finding what does heterogeneously dense breast mean? my dr wants a ultrasound is it needed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Uniform dense breast: In the young female the breast is extremely dense and consists of mostly breast tissue. With age, the breast tissue is dispersed with fatty tissue so that over 35yo mammo can be performed and one can visualize breast tissue. In some patients over 50 the mammo shows only sheets of dense breast tissue with no fat spread interstitially. Here a small lesion can only be detected by ultrasound.
