Imagine trying to find a hidden treasure buried in sand – it’s much easier when the sand is fine and loosely packed, but what if it’s compact and full of rocks? That’s similar to the challenge doctors face when detecting tumors in women with dense breast tissue. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has now stepped in and mandated that all mammography facilities in the country must inform patients about the density of their breast tissues. This is because breast density can make it harder to spot tumors during mammograms.

With this new requirement, doctors hope to improve the accuracy of mammograms and save more lives. To learn more about this important development, check out the research published by the FDA.
