In Breast Cancer Risk Assessment, Focus on Density Residual—Not Density Alone

Bounce

My breast surgeon and my oncologist both say there is no way to measure breast density.

Is there a test that gives numerical values or is it just the radiologist's judgement?

I understand it to be a visual judgement call by the radiologist. I'm 'guessing' they use some sort of visual scale for this density assignment. Maybe someone can clarify here with more information.
