Abstract
Tiled images are sometimes obtained for women with large breasts, which is a limitation of receptor size. In this retrospective HIPAA compliant study, automated breast density measurements for tiled images are compared with full MLO and CC views. Women with tiled views between July and December 2007 followed by full views within 15 months were included. Volumetric breast density (VBD) for tiled MLO views had very good correlation with full views (r = 0.88), while correlation between tiled and full CC views was poor (r = 0.31). VBD for all women requiring tiled CC views was low (<10%). In conclusion, VBD measured from a tiled MLO view is a reasonable substitute for a full MLO measure. Attributable risk of breast density for women requiring tiled CC views may be sufficiently low compared other factors such as high body mass index.
