Résumé
Mammographic Density (MD) is the degree of radio-opacity of the breast in an X-ray mammogram. It is determined by the Fibroglandular: Adipose tissue ratio. MD has major implications in breast cancer risk and breast cancer chemoprevention. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of accurate, low-cost quantification of MD in vivo without ionising radiation. We used single-sided portable nuclear magnetic resonance ("Portable NMR") due to its low cost and the absence of radiation-related safety concerns. Fifteen (N = 15) healthy female volunteers were selected for the study and underwent an imaging routine consisting of 2D X-ray mammography, quantitative breast 3T MRI (Dixon and T
