“If A80/G20 breast is representative of the average breast cancer patient then our A70/G30 breast results indicate that the compositional uncertainty and the use of breast density from CT data translate into second order effects [≈ ± 10%] compared to effect of going from water to average breast tissue [≈30%]”
