Table 1.

Comparisons within the same breast (paired t-tests). Statistical significance (in p-values) between total hemoglobin concentration (HbT) values of different tissue types in two-dimensional (2-D) and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT)-guided optical reconstructions.

HbT Adipose versus fibroglandular Adipose versus tumor Fibroglandular versus tumor
Malignant (30) 0.003 (0.001) 0.004 (0.002) 0.011 (0.020)
Solid (24) 0.546 (0.416) 0.553 (0.877) 0.463 (0.780)
Cyst (13) 0.108 (0.190) 0.089*(0.209) 0.193 (0.412)

Note: in each p-value pair, p-value for 2-D guided result is followed by that of DBT-guided result (in parentheses).
