Physiological background parenchymal uptake of 18F-FDG in normal breast tissues using dedicated breast PET: correlation with mammographic breast composition, menopausal status, and menstrual cycle

ConclusionsBPU in normal breast tissues assessed using ring-shaped dbPET was associated with mammographic density, menopausal status, and women ’s menstrual cycle. The menstrual cycle was significantly associated with BPU in premenopausal women with dense breasts but not in women with non-dense breasts.
