What Does This Mammography Test Finding Indicate?

I was told today after a mammography that I have a summation density with a questionable neodensity in my left best. The radiologist wants to see my mammogram from last year before redoing more shots. Is this standard? Should I be concerned? What is a neodensity?

Hello,

* As per my clinical experience, the density of the breast tissue on mammogram is indicated by the level of fat, breast and connective tissue.

* Neodensity means appearance of more dense spot than usual echo texture of rest of the breast.

* This can be a physiologic change or certain abnormality in terms of pathological process.

* The comparison with previous scans give best results of evaluation to comment further.

* If it is not found on previou mammogram or increasing in size, changing characteristics , shape or else, one may be advised to get a biopsy report of suspicious region or area focued on mammogram.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
