The goals of this study were to examine whether breast density and morphological pattern characterized by MRI can differentiate patients with and without cancer, and further to compare their associations with cancer risk based on MRI-density, mammographic density, or combined variables. Early results from this small cohort suggest mammographic density measures are not strongly associated with breast cancer in this symptomatic population. MRI density remains a strong risk factor for breast cancer, which is consistent with results from a prior screening study.
