Am I Normal: My Mammogram Results Say I Have Dense Breast Tissue
from The Scope

This does, however, make it more difficult for a mammogram to see through the entire breast. Dr. Kirtly Parker Jones explains dense breasts in further detail and what alternative screening methods might work the best for you.
