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...

Effective radiation attenuation calibration for breast density: compression thickness influences and correction

BACKGROUND Calibrating mammograms to produce a standardized breast density measurement for breast cancer risk analysis requires an accurate spatial measure of the compressed breast thickness. Thickness inaccuracies due to the nominal system readout value and compression paddle orientation induce unacceptable errors in the calibration. METHOD A thickness correction was developed and evaluated ...

Agreement of Mammographic Measures of Volumetric Breast Density to MRI

BACKGROUND Clinical scores of mammographic breast density are highly subjective. Automated technologies for mammography exist to quantify breast density objectively, but the technique that most accurately measures the quantity of breast fibroglandular tissue is not known. PURPOSE To compare the agreement of three automated mammographic techniques for measuring volumetric breast density with a...
