摘要: Background Breast tissue composition is recognized as a strong and independent risk factor for breast cancer. It heritable feature, but also significantly affected by several other elements (e.g., age, menopause). Nowadays it quantified mammographic density, thus requiring the use of ionizing radiation. Optical techniques are absolutely non-invasive have already proved effective in investigation biological tissues, they sensitive to structure.
