Examples of 25% – 49% mammographic density

moderate densitymammogram shows internal fluffy white areasfibroglandular tissue is scatteredless then half the tissue is mammographically denseexample where density is located behind the nipple regionthis example also has benign coarse calcifications

Compare this page to the previous pages in the mammogram density index. Disregard the fact that some mammograms were photographed brighter than others. Look within each breast at the proportion of white and dark areas. In these examples, the darker regions occupy over 75% of the area, thus the remaining <25% are the white areas composed of fibroglandular tissue. This is the most common type of mammograms in women over 50 years of age, its normal. Isn’t it amazing how different people have mammograms that differ from each other, even though their overall density is approximately the same in these examples. These are normal.

Calculate breast cancer risk here, or, I have a separate website of breast cancer information.
