Impact of Different Analytic Approaches on the Analysis of the Breast Fibroglandular Tissue Using Diffusion Weighted Imaging

Figure 6

The slice-to-slice profile of the mean ADC value measured in the fibroglandular tissue of different imaging slices in a craniocaudal order. The number of fibroglandular tissue pixels increases from the superior slices to the central slices and then gradually decreases towards the inferior slices. The fat partial volume effect is higher in the peripheral than the central slices, which leads to the variation in the ADC profile.
