We have demonstrated that the breast density analyzed based on a 3D MR method can be used to investigate the changes associated with tamoxifen treatment. We found a significant reduction in fibroglandular tissue volume and percent breast density after treatment, and the density reduction was positively correlated with the baseline density and treatment duration.
