(Upper row) LE-CEM images of a woman with dense breasts. VBD: 20.1%; breast volume: 319 cm³; volume of glandular tissue: 64 cm³; breast thickness: 32 mm; nipple-to-posterior-edge distance: 86 mm. (Lower row) DM images acquired 11.5 months after the CEM exam. VBD: 30.5%; breast volume: 450 cm³; volume of glandular tissue: 136 cm³; breast thickness: 41 mm; nipple-to-posterior-edge distance: 98 mm. Breast positioning was better in the DM exam, including an additional volume of glandular tissue, leading to a significant increment in VBD.
