Table 2. Detection by MAM/MRI by carcinoma type and breast density.

Microinvasive carcinoma was included in the invasive carcinoma category. Percentages are reported as column percentages. Category B (scattered fibroglandular densities) was considered non-dense, and Categories C (heterogeneous dense) and D (extremely dense) were grouped as dense. P <0.05 was considered significant.

MAM: mammography; OR: odds ratio

  Detected by MAM (N,%) Not detected by MAM (N,%) OR (95% CI) Not detected by MAM  + detected by MRI (N,%) Not detected by MAM + not detected by MRI (N,%) OR (95% CI)
Invasive carcinoma - 10 (58.8) - 8 (66.7) 2 (40.0) 3 (0.35, 25.87)
In situ carcinoma - 7 (41.2) 4 (33.3) 3 (60.0)
