The aim of this study is to assess attendance among women invited to additional breast imaging because they were identified as having an increased risk of breast cancer at screening. High-risk women were defined in two studies: Study A; women with high mammographic density, representing approximately 3-5% of screened women, and Study B; women with a false-positive screening result. Women in Study A will be offered an additional screening examination with digital breast tomosynthesis immediately within 6 months after the screening examination. Women in Study B will be offered an additional standard digital mammography examination one year after their initial screening.

Attendance rate to extra imaging with digital breast tomosynthesis for women with extremely high mammographic density
Women with extremely dense breasts will be offered an extra examination with DBT within 6 months after index screening mammography. The investigators will assess the attendance rate to this extra examination.
Time frame: Women will be invited to the extra examination with DBT within 6 months after index screening mammography.
Attendance rate to an additional screening mammography for women with false positive screening result
Women with false positive screening result will be offered an additional screening mammography within 12 months after index screening mammography. The investigators will assess the attendance rate to this additional examination.
Time frame: Women will be invited to the additional screening mammography within 12 months after index screening mammography.
