Comparison of breast density measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry with mammographic density among adult women in Hawaii
G Maskarinec, Y Morimoto, Y Daida, A Laidevant… - Cancer …, 2011 - Elsevier
Background: While use of mammography is limited, due to concerns related to radiation
exposure, dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), commonly available in medical care
settings, is characterized by low radiation exposure. Methods: In the current paper, we
compared breast density measured by DXA with mammographic density in 101 adult
women who had a screening mammogram during the last 2 years. DXA scans of both
breasts were taken using a clinical DXA system calibrated to measure breast density. The …
