Why understanding breast density matters

The British Institute of Radiology

Women with dense breasts are BOTH more likely to develop breast cancer and more likely to have that cancer missed on a mammogram [5] Fig. 1 – Cancer on a mammogram of a fatty vs a dense breast What is Dense Breast Tissue? Breast density is determined through a mammogram and described as one of four categories (Fig.

AI Performs Comparably to Human Readers of Mammograms

Imaging Technology

milla1cf Tue, 09/05/2023 - 09:00 September 5, 2023 — Using a standardized assessment, researchers in the UK compared the performance of a commercially available artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm with human readers of screening mammograms. For each test mammogram, the reader’s score is compared to the ground truth of the AI results.

Deep Learning Model Estimates Cancer Risk from Breast Density

Imaging Technology

As expert evaluations of breast density play a crucial role in breast cancer risk assessment, developing image analysis frameworks that can automatically estimate this risk, with the same accuracy as an experienced radiologist, is highly desirable. Their findings are published in the Journal of Medical Imaging. “The 10.2.024502.
