The sensitivity of mammography is initially determined by the relative background composition of the breast parenchyma. The denser the breast the less sensitive it is to the detection of small masses, although small calcifications can generally still be detected.

In studies on mass screening, it has often been reported that tumours in breasts with dense parenchyma are difficult to detect and may have a more advanced stage at diagnosis. ... The prevalence of dense breast parenchyma (P2 and DY) in our study population was 33% at first examination (n = 2581), which is fairly low...
