Cost-effectiveness of annual versus biennial screening mammography for women with high mammographic breast density

Further research on the comparative effectiveness of screening strategies for women with high mammographic breast density is warranted, particularly as digital mammography and density measurement become more widespread, before cost-effectiveness can be reevaluated.
