A member asked:

1st mammogram today already called saying need a higher density mammogram. told report says oblique abnormality density, what does this mean? scared

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Breast density: Because of the abnormality noted on your mammogram, I feel that collaboration between the radiologist and a breast surgeon is needed to determine the next step which could be a breast MRI and/ or biopsy.
