Traditionally, X-ray mammography has been viewed as the gold standard for breast screening. However, for dense breast women, its sensitivity is less than 50%. Adding the need for painful compression of the breast and the extra exposure to radiation, X-ray mammography itself could not meet the needs of mass scale Dense Breast Screening. ABUS was invented to significantly improve breast tumor detection.

70% Asian women and African Americans have Dense Breasts.
