On a comparative look at the native mammogram, the breast tissue appears voluminous and symmetrical. Regarding the involutive dimensions, there are some remnants of glandular parenchyma, mostly on the right side, appearing as small, patchy clusters. The fibrotic structural elements feel soft. The skin is thin and the nipples look normal. Because of how the glandular tissue is distributed on the right, I’d suggest following up with an ultrasound.

Could someone with medical expertise please help me translate this?

Since the way the iron tissue is laid out in the breast—especially on the right side—looks a little tricky, we should probably go ahead and run a breast ultrasound just to be safe.
The second thing isn't really worth worrying about.

Involutionary changes are just part of getting older.
Essentially, the glandular tissue begins to thin out and gets replaced by fatty tissue.
If you're being sent for an ultrasound, it usually means these age-related changes haven't become significant enough to warrant it yet. Honestly, most results look like this. With mammograms, consistency is what matters: get checked once every two years if you're between 40 and 50, then switch to annually once you hit 50. I always suggest pairing it with an ultrasound if your specialist—like your radiologist or oncologist—recommends it.

It’s probably nothing, but I’d suggest getting another checkup just to be safe. Every diagnostic method has its own flaws, so doubling up on different tests is the only way to be absolutely sure everything is fine.
