Involution of breast tissue and mammographic density.

Contrary to previous reports, greater lobular involution was not related to lower mammographic density but to higher dense area. Possibly, percent density during the involution process depends on the timing of mammographic density assessment, as epithelial tissue is first replaced with radiographically dense stromal tissue and only later with fat.
