  1. Total numbers of ROI and modulated reflectance spectra, R d (f x , λ), assessed per diagnostic class. Benign pathologies analyzed include normal or fibrocystic tissues and fibroadenomas (a). Malignant pathologies analyzed include ductal carcinoma in situ, invasive cancer, and treated invasive cancers.
