Calibrated Breast Density Measurements [PDF]
Academic Radiology, 2019 Mammographic density is an important risk factor for breast cancer, but translation to the clinic requires assurance that prior work based on mammography is applicable to current technologies. The purpose of this work is to evaluate whether a calibration methodology developed previously produces breast density metrics predictive of breast cancer risk ...

A Case Study in Breast Density Evaluation Using Bioimpedance Measurements
Sensors, 2022 (1) Background: As breast cancer studies suggest, a high percentage of breast density (PBD) may be related to breast cancer incidence. Although PBD screening is one of the strongest predictors of breast cancer risk, X-ray-based mammography evaluation is ...

Are you dense? The implications and imaging of the dense breast
South African Journal of Radiology, 2018 Mammography relies on a visual interpretation of imaging results that is often confounded by dense breast tissue. Dense tissue affects the ability and accuracy with which the radiologist is able to detect cancer.
