Abstract:PurposeSingle‐sided portable NMR (pNMR) has previously been demonstrated to be suitable for quantification of mammographic density (MD) in excised breast tissue samples. Here we investigate the precision and accuracy of pNMR measurements of MD ex vivo as compared with the gold standards.MethodsForty‐five breast‐tissue explants from 9 prophylactic mastectomy patients were measured. The relative tissue water content was taken as the MD‐equivalent quantity. In each sample, the water content was measured using som… Show more
