Table 5.

Analyzing the relationships between scattering and characteristics associated with MBD shows $\langle {\mu }_{\mathrm{s}}^{\prime }\rangle$ is not correlated to patient characteristics or adipocyte morphology in adipose sites; $n=213$, all $p>0.05$. ACA is significantly larger in sites from high breast density patients ($r=-0.29$) versus low breast density patients ($r=0.02$). Ø indicates no correlation; NS, not significant.
