ABUS is used as an adjunct for mammography for screening women with __________ breasts. translucent thin augmented dense

The correct answer is dense.

ABUS, or Automated Breast Ultrasound, is specifically designed to improve the detection of breast cancer in women with dense breast tissue. Dense breasts have a higher proportion of glandular tissue compared to fatty tissue, making it more challenging for mammograms to detect abnormalities. Mammography can miss cancers in dense breasts, leading to a higher risk of undetected breast cancer. Therefore, ABUS serves as an important supplementary tool to provide clearer imaging and improve the accuracy of screenings for this particular group of women. By utilizing ultrasound alongside mammography, healthcare providers can better identify any potential issues in dense breast tissue.
