BREAST DENSITY ESTIMATION

BREAST DENSITY ESTIMATION

A method for quantitative assessment of breast density can include separating breast voxels and exterior voxels from an image of a patient's breast; and for the breast voxels identified in the image, identifying tissue having high speed value from other tissue. The estimated breast density can...

Zusammenfassung:A method for quantitative assessment of breast density can include separating breast voxels and exterior voxels from an image of a patient's breast; and for the breast voxels identified in the image, identifying tissue having high speed value from other tissue. The estimated breast density can be calculated based on the percentage of non-skin breast voxels corresponding to fibroglandular tissue density within the breast.
