By using three-dimensional MR imaging, we have demonstrated that patients receiving chemotherapy showed reduction of breast density and that the effects were significant after initial treatment with one to two cycles of the doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide regimen

Currently, no standard method exists for breast percent density (PD) estimation on three-dimensional reconstructed images; until the emergence of such a method, PD could be estimated on central digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) projections if DBT were to replace digital mammography in clinical practice
