Clinical Significance of Combined Density and Deep-Learning-Based Texture Analysis for Stratifying the Risk of Short-Term and Long-Term Breast Cancer in Screening

Diagnostics
Assessing a woman’s risk of breast cancer is important for personalized screening. Mammographic density is a strong risk factor for breast cancer, but parenchymal texture patterns offer additional information which cannot be captured by density. We aimed
