Figure 11A. The glandular breast distribution data shown in Fig. 9 was modeled as a bi-Gaussian distribution defining the spatial extent of glandular tissue in the compressed-breast model. With some minor discrepancy, the bi-Gaussian distribution characterizes the measured data reasonably well.

Figure 11B. The bi-Gaussian distribution was used to simulate heterogeneous VGF levels, with higher levels at the center of the breast and lower values extending toward the skin lines.
