The future of breast imaging: a date with density

About 60% women in Europe enrolled in a national breast cancer screening programme who have a screening mammogram can feel reasonably confident that radiologists will be able to diagnose early-stage breast cancer. But what about the 30% categorised as having dense breasts, and the 10% who have extremely dense breasts? At the 2025 SBI (Society of Breast Imaging) Breast Imaging Symposium held in Colorado Springs, USA, Prof. Ruud Pijnappel, MD, PhD, discussed current clinical trials addressing breast screening of dense-breasted women.

Breast cancer screening: growing with the challenge

When localised breast cancer is identified at an early stage, it is curable. Rising attendance in mammography screening programmes attest to the fact that women have gotten that message. However, the resulting workload increase is a growing challenge for many women’s imaging centres. At the 2025 SBI (Society of Breast Imaging) Symposium in Colorado Springs, USA, breast imaging specialist…
