3. What's in the package

digibreast_mammo.mat

Original 2D mammogram from an anonymized healthy volunteer. Pixel size: 0.05 mm.

digibreast_glandularity.mat

Down-sampled (1 mm) fibroglandular tissue volume fraction map.

4. Tissue optical properties

With the provided fibroglandular tissue volume fraction map, users can freely build your own breast phantom by multiplying the optical properties of fibroglandular, adipose, and cancerous tissues to the volume fractions at each pixel/node.
