Comparing measurements of breast density

Physics in Medicine and Biology, 2007
Breast density measurements can be made from mammograms using either area-based methods, such as the six category classification (SCC), or volumetric based methods, such as the standard mammogram form (SMF). Previously, we have shown how both types of methods generate breast density estimates which are generally close.

Ultrasonographic assessment of breast density

Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, 2013
Ultrasonographic (US) assessment of breast density has the potential to provide a nonionizing method. This study was to prospectively evaluate intermodality and interobserver agreements for assessment of breast density between US and mammography. Institutional review board approval was obtained. Forty-one women (mean 52.1 years; range 25-72 years) with

Breast density and risk of breast cancer [PDF]

International Journal of Cancer, 2022
AbstractEarly studies reported a 4‐ to 6‐fold risk of breast cancer between women with extremely dense and fatty breasts. As most early studies were case‐control studies, we took advantage of a population‐based screening program to study density and breast cancer incidence in a cohort design.

Breast density and breast cancer

Romanian Journal of Medical Practice, 2021
Breast density is increasingly recognized as an independent risk factor for the development of breast cancer. It has been shown to be associated with a four-to sixfold increase a woman's risk of malignant breast disease. Increased breast density, as identified on mammography, is known to decrease the diagnostic sensitivity of the examination, which is ...

Breast density analysis of digital breast tomosynthesis

Scientific Reports, 2023
AbstractMammography shifted to digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in the US. An automated percentage of breast density (PD) technique designed for two-dimensional (2D) applications was evaluated with DBT using several breast cancer risk prediction measures: normalized-volumetric; dense volume; applied to the volume slices and averaged (slice-mean); and

Mammographic breast density refines Tyrer-Cuzick estimates of breast cancer risk in high-risk women: findings from the placebo arm of the International Breast Cancer Intervention Study I [PDF]

, 2014
Introduction: Mammographic density is well-established as a risk factor for breast cancer, however, adjustment for age and body mass index (BMI) is vital to its clinical interpretation when assessing individual risk.

The California Breast Density Information Group: A Collaborative Response to the Issues of Breast Density, Breast Cancer Risk, and Breast Density Notification Legislation [PDF]

Radiology, 2013
In anticipation of breast density notification legislation in the state of California, which would require notification of women with heterogeneously and extremely dense breast tissue, a working group of breast imagers and breast cancer risk specialists was formed to provide a common response framework.

Common variants in ZNF365 are associated with both mammographic density and breast cancer risk. [PDF]

, 2011
High-percent mammographic density adjusted for age and body mass index is one of the strongest risk factors for breast cancer. We conducted a meta analysis of five genome-wide association studies of percent mammographic density and report an association ...
