Mammographic Density Estimation with Automated Volumetric Breast Density Measurement
OBJECTIVE To compare automated volumetric breast density measurement (VBDM) with radiologists' evaluations based on the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS), and to identify the factors associated with technical failure of VBDM. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, 1129 women aged 19-82 years who underwent mammography from December 2011 to January 2012 were included. Breast dens...
متن کاملThe Pathobiology of Mammographic Density
High mammographic density confers a significantly increased risk of breast cancer. As it is relatively common in the normal population the risk of cancer attributable to increased mammographic density could potentially account for an important percentage of total BCa cases. The underlying cause for high mammographic density and its association with increased BCa risk and progression is unknown....
متن کاملQuantifying Effect-Specific Mammographic Density
A methodology is introduced for the automated assessment of structural changes of breast tissue in mammograms. It employs a generic machine learning framework and provides objective breast density measures quantifying the specific biological effects of interest. In several illustrative experiments on data from a clinical trial, it is shown that the proposed method can quantify effects caused by...
متن کاملAssociation of Mammographic Density with Pathologic Findings
BACKGROUND Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world and is the first cause of death due to cancer among women. Mammography is the best screening method and mammographic density, which determines the percentage of fibro glandular tissue of breast, is one of the strongest risk factors of breast cancer. Because benign and malignant lesions may present as dense lesions in mammog...
متن کاملEffect of tamoxifen on mammographic density.
There are strong data showing that increased breast cancer risk is associated with increased mammographic density. Tamoxifen has been shown to decrease the risk of invasive breast cancer and decrease breast density. We sought to demonstrate and calculate the extent of change in mammographic density in women who have taken tamoxifen for up to 2 years. We evaluated mammograms from 28 high-risk wo...
