The amount of radiologically dense breast-tissue appearing on a mammogram varies
between women because of differences in the composition of breast tissue, and is referred …

Background: The radiographic appearance of the female breast varies from woman to
woman depending on the relative amounts of fat and connective and epithelial tissues …

The appearance of the breast on mammography varies among women, reflecting variations
in tissue composition. Stroma and epithelium attenuate x-rays more than fat and appear light …

There is now extensive evidence that mammographic density is an independent risk factor
for breast cancer that is associated with large relative and attributable risks for the disease …

Several epidemiologic studies (1-3) have reported the magnitude of the risk associated with
increased mammographic density to be between fourfold and sixfold, exceeding that of most …

Background: The appearance of the female breast viewed by mammography varies
considerably from one individual to another because of underlying differences in the relative …

Increased mammographic breast density is a moderate independent risk factor for breast
cancer, with findings of published studies in which quantitative methods of assessment were …

The radiographic appearance of the breast on mammography varies among women, and
reflects variations in breast tissue composition and the different X-ray attenuation …

Background Mammographic density is a heritable quantitative trait and is a strong risk factor
for breast cancer in middle-aged and older women. However, little is known about the …

Using an automated method for detecting mammographic mass, the authors evaluated the
relation between quantitatively measured density and the risk of breast cancer in a case …
