diseases but also for some types of cancers, including breast cancer. Several biological …

Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) has gained acceptance as an adjunct to digital
mammography in screening. Now that breast density reporting is mandated in several states …

Introduction Breast density is one of the strongest risk factors for breast cancer, but
determinants of breast density in young women remain largely unknown. Methods …

Purpose: To investigate the use of the whole‐breast sound speed measurement as a marker
of breast density (BD), a known risk factor for breast cancer. Methods: As part of an ongoing …

Objectives To assess feasibility and diagnostic accuracy of a novel hand-held ultrasound
(US) method for breast density assessment that measures the speed of sound (SoS), in …

Breast density is one of the strongest predictors of breast cancer risk. Women with the
densest breasts are four-to six-times more likely to develop cancer compared with those with …

This study compared different approaches to measuring breast density and breast tissue
composition (BTC) in adolescent girls (n= 42, aged 14–16 years) and their mothers (n= 39 …

Objectives: We examined breast density by dual energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) in
relation to pubertal maturation and body fatness among girls of several ethnic groups, which …

Mammographic density has been proven as an independent risk factor for breast cancer.
Women with dense breast tissue visible on a mammogram have a much higher cancer risk …
