Digital screening mammogram and screening MBI images from patient with extremely dense breasts

The digital screening mammogram and screening MBI images from an asymptomatic patient with increased risk of breast cancer and extremely dense breasts on mammography. The digital mammogram (left) was interpreted as negative, but the MBI (right) detected a 13-mm invasive lobular cancer (arrow) that was occult on mammography due to breast density.
