Study Information
-
110 healthy participants who had prior mammograms were scanned with the UWB imaging system.​​
-
Breast density information (category and percentage) was obtained from the imaging reports available with the mammograms.
Sample images
-
Sample images and corresponding mammograms are shown for each density category:
-
A = almost entirely fatty
-
B = scattered areas of fibroglandular density
-
C = heterogeneously dense
-
D = extremely dense
-
-
Greater properties are observed for higher density categories.
Summary of results
-
​Average properties of UWB images were calculated and plotted against the percent density available from mammography reports.
