Volumetric breast density evaluation using fully automated Volpara software, its comparison with BIRADS density types and correlation with the risk of malignancy

Abstract Background Mammography is currently the modality of choice for mass screening breast cancer, although its sensitivity low in dense breasts. Besides, higher density has been identified as independent risk factor so it conceptualized that women with breasts should be encouraged supplemental screening. In this study, we aimed to estimate distribution volumetric using fully automated Volpara software and analyze level agreement between grades Breast Imaging Reporting Data System (BI-RADS) grades. We also aim cancer different VDG find a correlation malignancy. Results VDG-c was most common followed by VDG-b BIRADS grade B commonest C. The found inversely related age. Level moderate ( κ = 0.5890). Statistically significant noted d malignancy p < 0.001). Conclusion Difficulties associated use BI-RADS categories may avoided if assessed method. High can considered Thus, awareness woman’s might useful determining frequency imaging
