@theresachirps Breast density is often inherited, but other factors can influence it. Lower breast density can be due to increasing age, having children, using tamoxifen. Higher breast density can be due to use of postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy and having a low body mass index.

@Leslie_Ferris @DrPaulaGordon Women with dense breasts have a higher risk of breast cancer than women with non-dense (or fatty) breasts. This risk increases with increasing breast density. #KnowYourRadiologist #FindOutMyBreastDensityDay

@cmiller939 Great question! Your breast density is actually determined from a regular screening mammogram. There are four categories. Which one are you? #KnowYourRadiologist #FindOutMyBreastDensityDay @UCCancerCenter @UChicagoMed
