(Journal of the National Cancer Institute) The population of women screened also influences accuracy. For instance, accuracy is more likely if menstruating women have a mammogram during the first or second week of the menstrual cycle, when breast tissue is less dense. Finally, women are more likely to get accurate mammogram readings if they go to the same facility and/or ensure that prior films are available for the radiologist to compare.
