Personal information

Our results were comparable to previous data in the literature and favored supplemental screening with US in women with dense breasts (ACR breast density C or D )

Howerever, DBT can be considered an option for women with non-fatty breasts, because detected half of all additional cancers, with a higher PPV than US.
