Women were divided into those with dense and nondense (fatty) breasts. Those with dense breasts (13,547) also had a complete screening breast ultrasound using Philips HDI 5000 and HDI Ultramark 9 (Philips Medical Systems, Andover, MA). All three examinations were performed during a single visit by a single examiner. Patient age, hormonal status, and risk factors were also recorded.Wednesday, 17 Sep 2003 12:50:31 GMT
