It has been shown that breast density and parenchymal patterns are significant indicators in mammographic risk assessment. In addition, studies have shown that the sensitivity of computer aided tools decreases significantly with increase in breast density. As such, mammographic density estimation and classification plays an important role in CAD systems. In this paper, we present the classifica...

Breast density is a recognized strong and independent risk factor for developing breast cancer. At present, breast density is assessed based on the radiological appearance of breast tissue, thus relying on the use of ionizing radiation. We have previously obtained encouraging preliminary results with our portable instrument for time domain optical mammography performed at 7 wavelengths (635-106...

Benign diseases are more common than malignant diseases in pregnant and lactating women. Fibroadenomas are the most commonly identified benign breast tumour in pregnant and lactating women. Pregnancy related breast cancer is defined as breast cancer that occurs during pregnancy or within 1 year of delivery. Its incidence is estimated at 1 in 3000 to 1 in 10 000 pregnancies. Several reproductive...

Introducción: El carcinoma de mama bilateral sincrónico se define por la aparición tumores simultáneos en ambas mamas. Estudios indican que frecuencia estos carcinomas oscila entre 1,4 y 11,8 %. Actualmente, ecografía mamaria mamografía constituyen los métodos cribado aconsejables para detectar lesiones iniciales. Objetivo: Presentar un caso infrecuente simultáneo. Presentación caso: Se trata u...

BACKGROUND BI-RADS was first developed in 1993 for mammography and in 2003 it was redesigned for ultrasonography (US). If the observer agreement is high, the method used in the classification of lesion would be reproducible. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to evaluate the inter- and intraobserver agreement of sonographic BI-RADS lexicon in the categorization and feature characterization o...
