I'm really excited about how artificial intelligence is enabling us to look deeper into the patterns of breast density on a mammogram and pull out the features that most strongly predict future breast cancer.
See our new paper for the full story.

There is growing awareness of #BreastDensity in Australia, but is this awareness leading to knowledge of what breast density actually is? In this pre-print, we investigate the factors associated with increased knowledge of breast density.

Current evidence tells us that being overweight is a risk factor for breast cancer. So fat cells in the breast are bad, right? Maybe not. New research suggests it's more complicated than that. Dr Sandy Minck explains....

A big win for South Australian women today! We're the first state in Australia to report all categories of breast density to all women attending BreastScreen.
Such important information for women to know so they can make the best choices for their breast health.
27 Jul 2023
South Australian women going for a mammogram will soon become the first in the nation to also be able to learn their breast density.
Density can mask signs of cancer and knowing where they stand can lessen the risk of women suffering serious disease.
