Association between patient position-induced breast shape changes on prone and supine MRI and mammographic breast density or thickness
Compressed breast thickness during MMG can predict the degree of patient position-induced changes in breast shape on MRI. The manual quantification of the mammographic breast density, which may reflect the biomechanical properties of the breast tissues, also correlates to the breast shape changes.
