Abstract
Background: Breast density is an independent predictor of breast cancer risk. Quantitative volumetric breast density (QVBD) is expected to provide more information on the prediction of breast cancer risk. Purpose: To evaluate the reliability of QVBD measurements based on cone-beam breast computed tomography (CBBCT) images.
