Abstract
Breast and connective tissues, in particular, are denser than fat, and MG can detect this difference. Mammograms are more difficult to interpret when breast density is high (that is, when there is more breast and connective tissues than fat), since a lesion may be shadowed by dense tissues. Furthermore, study has shown that women with dense breasts are more likely to develop breast cancer. Breast density varies by race, and many Indian women have dense- or mixed-type breast density. As a result, MG may be unable to correctly distinguish tumours in this population. Alternative treatments for women with dense breasts have started to be implemented in several countries.Two hundred and fifty female patients were diagnosed with breast cancer and had surgery at the same time. Medical University, India between March 2011 and November 2013 was taken into account in this research. Of the 250 cases, MG BI-RADS category was 0 in 66 (26.4 percent) cases, category 1 in 25 (10 percent), category 2 in 15 (6 percent), category 3 in 39 (15.6 percent), category 4 in 85 (34 percent),and category 5 in 20 (8 percent). US BI-RADS category was 1in 36 (14.4 percent) cases, category 2 in 68 (27.2 percent), category 3 in 38 (15.2 percent), category 4 in 28 (11.2 percent), and category 5 in 70 (28 percent). In the preoperative evaluation of breast diseases in Indian women, the US outperformed MG.These findings indicate that the US could be more useful in India for detecting breast lesions.
