Measurement of the mammographic skin thickness over different parts of the breast was performed in 150 normal patients. The patients were divided into three groups based on breast size and the skin thickness in these three groups compared. The results showed that skin thickness decreased with increasing breast size and that the upper limit of normal was greater than the previously quoted normal range at 3.0 mm. Measurement over different parts of the breast showed that medial exceeded lateral skin thickness by up to 100%, and similarly for the inferior and superior measurements. These findings in the normal breast are of importance in deciding on the presence or absence of abnormal skin thickening as an indicator of underlying breast disease.
对150名正常患者的乳房不同部位进行了乳腺X线摄影皮肤厚度测量。根据乳房大小将患者分为三组，并比较了这三组的皮肤厚度。结果显示，皮肤厚度随着乳房尺寸的增加而减小，正常上限大于之前引用的3.0mm正常范围。对乳房不同部位的测量显示，内侧皮肤厚度比外侧厚达100%，上下测量结果同样如此。正常乳房的这些发现对于判断是否存在异常皮肤增厚作为潜在乳腺疾病的指标具有重要意义。
