"Compared to the previous edition, the percentages estimates of dense tissue were replaced by a description of subjectively estimated breast density associated with changes in the sensitivity of mammography. This emphasises the masking effect of dense tissue on mammographic detection of non-calcified lesions. The exact percentage of breast density is more relevant as a factor in stratification of breast cancer risk¹."

Semicolons

suggestion

"In dense breasts, screening ultrasound is potentially beneficial. Contrast-enhanced MRI is also advocated as an adjunct to screening mammography in extremely dense breasts; however, no large data is available in this regard. The DENSE Trial is undergoing to evaluate MRI as an additional screening tool in women aged 50-75 years with extremely dense breasts ⁵."
