The most common reason for being recalled after a mammogram is the detection of an abnormality that requires further evaluation. This could be due to unclear images, dense breast tissue, or the presence of a suspicious area that needs additional imaging, such as a diagnostic mammogram or ultrasound, to determine if further investigation or a biopsy is necessary. Most often, these recalls do not result in a cancer diagnosis, but they are an important step in ensuring accurate and thorough screening.
