Because the results of this study showed that Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) breast density categories reported do not differ according to acquisition method, these density categories could be used in the development of breast cancer risk models in which both film-screen and digital mammography are used.
sic; thererefore, related breast density studies associated with breast cancer risk likely apply regardless of whether you have had a digital mammogram or older analog exam.
