Breast tissue classification using x-ray scattering measurements and multivariate data analysis
TL;DR: This study utilized two radiation scatter interactions in order to differentiate malignant from non-malignant breast tissue, using Compton scatter, used to measure the electron density of the tissues, and coherent scatter to obtain a measure of structure.

The determination of zinc, copper and iron oxidation state in invasive ductal carcinoma of breast tissue and normal surrounding tissue using XANES
TL;DR: The position of the Zn K-edge in normal and tumour tissues suggests that Zn exists in a bounded form, and more information is required about the relative abundance of Zn, Fe and Cu binding proteins, their oxidation state and their localisation at the subcellular level.

TL;DR: The distribution of zinc was measured in 59 samples of invasive ductal carcinoma of breast using synchrotron radiation micro probe x-ray fluorescence facilities enabling a high throughput of samples and allowing us to correlate the distribution of trace metals with tumour cell distribution and, for the first time, important biological variables.
A synchrotron XRF study on trace elements and potassium in breast tissue
TL;DR: A synchrotron X-ray fluorescence system was employed to quantify the levels of iron, copper, zinc and potassium in 80 healthy and cancerous breast tissue samples as mentioned in this paper.

The use of Compton scattering to differentiate between classifications of normal and diseased breast tissue.
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the alteration in glucose uptake within malignant cells may cause these tissues to have an elevated electron density, and the fibrotic nature of tissue that has undergone FCC gives the highest measure of all tissue types.
