My Density Matters educates women about breast density, explaining the four categories and how density affects mammogram accuracy and cancer risk. The site offers step‑by‑step guidance to locate density information in mammogram reports and outlines supplemental screening options such as 3D mammography, ultrasound, molecular breast imaging, contrast‑enhanced mammography, and MRI, helping women pursue appropriate early‑detection strategies.

Problem
Many women are unaware of their breast density, a key factor that both increases breast cancer risk and reduces the effectiveness of standard mammograms, leading to missed diagnoses.
Solution
My Density Matters provides educational resources and tools that help women identify their breast density from mammogram reports and understand its implications. The platform explains the four density categories, highlights the associated risk levels, and outlines supplemental screening options such as 3D mammography, ultrasound, molecular breast imaging, contrast‑enhanced mammography, and MRI. By raising awareness and guiding users toward appropriate additional screening, the organization empowers women to take proactive steps in their breast cancer prevention and early detection strategies.
Target Audience
Women aged 25 and older, particularly those who have received mammograms or are considering breast cancer screening, and healthcare providers seeking patient education materials on breast density.
