The proton density fat fraction is a useful biomarker of breast water-fat composition that significantly negatively correlates with mammographic breast density and could overcome the reproducibility errors in the reading of mammographic breast density.
Figure 2: Mammograms with breast density estimation following the American College of Radiology Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System categories 1-4 with corresponding PDFF maps.
Figure 3: Correlation of mean PDFF values to the four American College of Radiology Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System categories with adjusted p-values revealing a significant inverse correlation.
