T0, density at entry; T1, density at 1 year; T2, density at 2 year; no change, density change greater than or equal to this is classed as no change; change, density change less than or equal to this is classed as decrease; the intermediate category is density in between these; decrease difference, absolute difference in density change percentage between tamoxifen and no tamoxifen groups
*For automated methods, the cutpoints shown are for differences in transformed percentage density (×10), being the natural logarithm for Volpara and square root for the other methods.
