The presence of a high GTC indicated dense breasts, and the presence of evident fat lobules in the FGT represented nondense breasts. For the remaining cases, the cutoff point of the FGT thickness-to-FAT thickness ratio was 0.93 for ultrasonographic two-grade scale breast composition assessment with 100% accuracy.
