Brief Summary:
The investigators hypothesize that knowledge of the functional behavior of areas of mammographic density will enable more specific identification of dense tissue at-risk for breast cancer, ultimately providing predictive information on an individual's risk of developing breast cancer.
Detailed Description:
The specific aims are:
* In women with increased mammographic density (MD), determine the histological characteristics of functionally dense tissue compared to that of non-functionally dense tissue via core-needle biopsy of the breast.
* In women with increased mammographic density (MD), determine the correlations between the total percent area of functional density (FD) on MBI, percent density of MD on mammogram, and histological characteristics of dense tissue
