Mammographic density and breast cancer risk: current understanding and future prospects

NF Boyd, LJ Martin, MJ Yaffe, S Minkin - Breast cancer research, 2011 - Springer
Variations in percent mammographic density (PMD) reflect variations in the amounts of
collagen and number of epithelial and non-epithelial cells in the breast. Extensive PMD is …

Breast tissue composition and susceptibility to breast cancer

NF Boyd, LJ Martin, M Bronskill, MJ Yaffe… - Journal of the …, 2010 - academic.oup.com
Breast density, as assessed by mammography, reflects breast tissue composition. Breast
epithelium and stroma attenuate x-rays more than fat and thus appear light on …

In vivo breast sound-speed imaging with ultrasound tomography

C Li, N Duric, P Littrup, L Huang - Ultrasound in medicine & biology, 2009 - Elsevier
