Hi Hebla,

Asked my surgeon about this and she said for dense breasts it was more important to use digital mammography than cad on films. I still have negative feelings about mammorams in my case. I know it works wonders for some people but if you have dense breasts, a clear reading can mean your tumor is smaller than a bowling ball. BB
