Abstract

Mammography has been the mainstay of breast imaging since the 1980s (see Chapter 1 for fundamentals of digital mammography). Because of widespread mammographic screening, as well as improved treatments for breast cancer, the death rate from breast cancer has decreased by approximately 30% since 1990 (American Cancer Society 2009). That said, mammography is far from perfect and its limitations are well known. Cancers may not be detected on mammography, especially in women with dense breasts. The reported sensitivity of mammography ranges in the literature from 63% to 98%; in dense breasts, cancers may be obscured by surrounding dense tissue and sensitivity in these women may be as low 30% to 48% (Berg et al. 2004).
