Does the menstrual cycle affect the multimodal ultrasound tomography?

Conclusion Although there are biological changes in breast tissue properties during the MC, we did not observe statistically significant changes in the average values of MUT refractivity and attenuation images in each breast for different weeks of the MC. This finding implies that the diagnostic accuracy of the MUT may not be affected by the timing of the scan during the MC. PMID: 30282480 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
