dc.description.resumoIn many countries, there is an interest in determining the location of the women with the highest breast density.This investigation is important for optimize screening for breast cancer for women with dense breasts as other imaging modalities since 2D mammography is not very efficient on this type of breast. The objective of this study was to evaluate the variations in breast density in Brazilian women of different regions of Brazil. The mammo graphic images were taken from four regions of Brazil. The images, in the cranial caudal (CC) projection, were separated into intervals of compressed breast thickness (CBT) and patient age and were analysed by the software VolparaDensity, where volumetric breast density (VBD) calculations were performed. For each interval, null hypothesis tests for the mean difference between the VBD from the four regions of Brazil were performed. The paired tests indicated that there was a significant difference in the VBD of the women in the different regions of Brazil, with variations from 11.05% to 36.73%. Higher VBD was observed for women living in the Southeast region, followed by the Midwest, Northeast, and North regions. The Brazilian IBGE data show that the most urbanised region in Brazil is the Southeast, which coincides with the second highest rate of breast cancer in Brazil, according to the Brazilian National Cancer Institute (INCA). It is also known that breast cancer is strongly related to breast density; therefore, the results of this work support the data presented by federal agencies demonstrating that women living in the most urbanised region of Brazil (e.g., Southeast) present the highest breast densit.pt_BR
