Society of Breast Imaging (SBI)

The core purpose of the Society of Breast Imaging (SBI) is to save lives and minimize the impact of breast cancer. SBI says it is a champion for the science of breast health, scientific integrity in women's health and fosters collaboration among breast imagers. SBI works closely with the American College of Radiology (ACR) on many policies and issues regarding mammography.

  • Illustration of the four types of breast tissue densities. The more dense, the harder it is for radiologists to detect cancers, which had led to about 40 states to now require notiofication of patients if they have dense breasts and the impact on their care, with possible miss-reads and that they may need supplemental imaging.
