With more women being notified of their breast density after having a mammogram, GPs are increasingly asked: Do I need extra imaging?
New Australian guidance provides practical information to help determine when additional screening is recommended.

In a landmark policy change, BreastScreen Australia now recommends that breast density be reported to women as part of routine mammographic screening.

Why #AI mammography will not only help more accurately diagnose breast cancer, but also identify high-risk individuals for close surveillance and prevention https://t.co/7as7yz6oYl @WendyIngman

[Dr Wendy Ingman @WendyIngman]

I'm really excited about how artificial intelligence is enabling us to look deeper into the patterns of breast density on a mammogram and pull out the features that most strongly predict future breast cancer.
See our new paper for the full story.

Are you wondering why different Australian states have different policies when it comes to breast density notification? Here is the full explainer, and how you can be involved in shaping national BreastScreen policy.

What is the personal impact of not being told about your #BreastDensity?
Read Krysty Sullivan's experience with breast cancer diagnosis and why she's advocating for women to be told their density when they have a mammogram. @BeInforMD_ @KSSulliva

There is growing awareness of #BreastDensity in Australia, but is this awareness leading to knowledge of what breast density actually is? In this pre-print, we investigate the factors associated with increased knowledge of breast density.

[Dr Wendy Ingman @WendyIngman]

We've been working on new imaging technologies that can detect breast cancer in high #BreastDensity tissue, and I'm very pleased to share our first publication where we investigate the wave propagation characteristics of breast tissues

Current evidence tells us that being overweight is a risk factor for breast cancer. So fat cells in the breast are bad, right? Maybe not. New research suggests it's more complicated than that. Dr Sandy Minck explains....

BREAKING NEWS: South Australian women will soon be able to learn their individual breast density at all screening clinics
https://t.co/fQTn6e6i3L

[Dr Wendy Ingman @WendyIngman]

A big win for South Australian women today! We're the first state in Australia to report all categories of breast density to all women attending BreastScreen.
Such important information for women to know so they can make the best choices for their breast health.

[Dr Wendy Ingman @WendyIngman]

Should women be warned about breast density? I spoke to Cate Swannell from @Medicalrepublic on this topic together with patients and breast cancer screening experts.
Listen to the podcast and decide for yourself.
