Breast attenuation generates apparent hipoperfusion of the anterior wall and can be seen not only in women with large breasts but also in those with relatively small but dense breasts. Shifting breast attenuation can be caused by different position of the breast in the stress and rest acquisitions.

Breast attenuation just means that a defect on the scan was seen, but they believe it to be from your breast and not from an actual area of ischemia on the scan. Usually you only need to worry if the area of the defect was worse on the stress scan than it is on the rest scan, which yours was not.

The t10, c12-CLA isomer reduced production of 5-HETE but not 12- and 15-HETE in MDA-MB-231 human breast tumor cells. That isomer and the c9, t11-CLA isomer decreased 5-HETE production by competition with the lipoxygenase substrate, arachidonic acid (AA).

Attenuation compensation was performed using a cone-beam radionuclide CT attenuation map. Breast tissue attenuation created apparent "defects" in the polar map, where the intensity was reduced by up to 35% relative to the most intense region.
