Radiologic Breast Exams – The 70% Solution

In this essential episode, Dr. Barbara 'Menopause' Taylor dives into radiologic breast exams—the method responsible for detecting 70% of breast cancers. Focusing on mammograms, she explains how breast density, hormone status, and body composition affect image clarity, and why mammograms are truly a “black and white” issue. Learn how dense breast tissue complicates cancer detection, what the BIRADS system means for you, and why mammogram reports now include mandatory disclaimers. This is your must-have guide to understanding mammograms—beyond the compression plates.
