Data are presented as mean ± SD, where background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) is estimated using the representative R %cutoff of 30 % for subtraction images 1 and 3 (i.e., post-contrast minus pre-contrast; SUB 1 and SUB 3, respectively). P values were derived by paired Student’s t test comparing pre-RRSO and post-RRSO measures for each group. In analysis of variance, the P values represent our jointly contrasting the groups developing vs. not developing cancer and pre-RRSO vs. post-RRSO status as the two independent variables. False discovery rate (FDR)-corrected P values are also provided as a means to adjust for multiple comparisons. AUC refers to the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the logistic regression models to predict women who developed breast cancer after RRSO, based on the relative differences (i.e., [post-RRSO − pre-RRSO]/pre-RRSO) in each measure.
