Breast tissue density quantification via digitized mammograms.

Breast tissue density quantification via digitized mammograms.

Studies reported in the literature indicate that breast cancer risk is associated with mammographic densities. An objective, repeatable, and a quantitative measure of risk derived from mammographic densities will be of considerable use in recommending alternative screening paradigms and/or preventiv...
