X‐ray interaction data, including measuring bio‐metal levels and scattering characteristics, are being shown to be a possible discriminating variable in the classification of human tissues. However, a major concern when using X‐ray interaction data in breast cancer material is that the samples are rarely 100% tumour because of the invasive nature of the disease. The work reported here includes a methodology to help overcome this limitation as …
