Quantitative Study on the Breast Density and the Volume of the Mammary Gland According to the Patient's Age and Breast Quadrant.

The PBD and MGV computed from BCT examinations provide important information for breast cancer risk assessment in women. The study quantified the breast mammary gland reduction and density decrease over the entire breast. It established mathematical models to estimate the breast composition features-BTV, MGV, and PBD, as a function of the patient's age.
