  • * History of prior MBI was obtained from survey question 1 for 208 responders and verified via medical record review for 1 responder with missing response to survey question 1.

  • Reported for all available data. Among 203 patients with compressed thickness available for both MBI and mammography, mean thickness was 5.9 cm (SD, 1.5) for MBI and 5.3 cm (SD, 1.4) for mammography.
