Unlikely need tests: At 44 yes have to be concerned , if you have any abnormality , will need close observation . Most likely you have thick dense breast tissue , if you have lumps and masses one will feel them which you don't have , you have densities by xray only. Speak to your md will advise you if need MRI of breasts or even core needle biopsy of the area , don't forget to go for follow up visits. Good luck.

If you had: an abnormality on mammography that wasn't visualized on ultrasound, or wasn't explained by the ultrasound, then you are still left with a mammographic abnormality that may need follow up or needle biopsy. Sometimes an abnormality is seen on both mammo and US, sometimes on only one of the two.
