What does it mean when breasts are non dense?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
More fat than fiber: Essentially, breasts are comprised of fat and fibrous tissue. Fat/fatty tissue is less dense than fibrous. Dense tissue is challenging to image and assess for any potential growths (e.g. cancer).
