*, P<0.05. FGT was categorized into four levels: 1 = almost entirely fat, 2 = scattered fibroglandular density, 3 = heterogeneously dense, 4 = extremely dense. BPE was categorized into four levels: 1 = minimal, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, 4 = marked. FGT, fibroglandular tissue; BPE, breast parenchymal enhancement; NME, non-mass enhancement.
