Ordering screening mammograms by increasing breast density may improve reading performance, decrease reading time, and increase search efficiency. This could be due to the phenomenon of human visual adaptation. Ordering screening mammograms on increasing density would be relatively easy to implement in screening practice. However, prospective, un-enriched studies are needed to confirm these observations. Additionally, it would be interesting to investigate what happens if screening mammograms were ordered by decreasing instead of increasing breast density.
