Why Risk Scores Alone Aren’t Enough – And What Your Breast Center Can Do About It

High-risk breast cancer clinics are gaining ground across health systems – but for these programs to succeed, they require more than good intentions. They require good inputs.

At the heart of every high-risk clinic is a pipeline: identify at-risk women early, intervene appropriately, and manage their care longitudinally. But if the inputs into that pipeline – mammographic positioning, breast density classification, risk estimation – are unreliable, the pipeline breaks.

Densitas solves this problem at its source.

Densitas intelliMammo helps you acquire mammograms with proper positioning and compression and ensuring complete breast visualization. This directly influences the reliability of breast density assessments, which is a critical input to the Tyrer-Cuzick lifetime breast cancer risk model, which is in turn a factor included in the NCCN guidelines. It also influences short-term image-based AI risk models like Mirai.

Densitas intelliRisk™ provides lifetime risk models and integrations with short-term risk models to deliver more precise and personalized breast cancer risk estimates. But it doesn’t stop there.  IntelliRisk™ powers high-risk patient management and makes risk estimates actionable with:

• Auto-referrals for supplemental imaging
• EHR integration for flagging high-risk patients
• Analytics and worklists for tracking patient adherence with appropriate follow up protocols

This is where the clinical and economic ROIs converge. Health systems that offer high-risk breast cancer programs are positioned to reduce late-stage cancers, generate new service line revenue, and lead in value-based care. But that promise only holds if high-risk patient management workflows are built on solid ground.

Fragmented tools, disconnected systems, and suboptimal mammography positioning can create false positives, missed cancers, and administrative waste. The Densitas breast imaging AI suite brings it all together – quality, density, and risk – so you can deliver the precision care your patients deserve.

High-risk patient management isn’t just a feature. It’s a responsibility. And it starts with getting every image, every density score, and every risk calculation right.
