Important new recommendations have been announced by the European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI) recommending, as high priority, that breast screening services should: 

-  Inform women about their breast density and additional screening considerations. 

-  For women, aged 50 to 70 years, with extremely dense breasts, it is recommended offering screening breast MRI examination every 2 to 4 years. Where MRI screening is unavailable, alternatively, mammograms in combination with ultrasound examination may be used.  

These RECOMMENDATIONS are a huge step forward for women. It will be interesting to see how individual countries respond and action taken. Updates will be provided on any developments.
