Both interactive thresholding tools and human visual assessment have been related to the risk of developing breast cancer. In this paper we explore the relationship between human assessment of area of dense tissue and the actual thickness of tissue in the breast by using a volumetric density technique to compute areas of dense tissue, varying the threshold below which areas of low density are discounted...
Breast density is positively linked to the risk of developing breast cancer. Furthermore, the addition of breast density as an input to breast cancer risk prediction models has been shown to improve their predictive power. Such models are used in the management of women at high risk but could potentially be used to determine screening strategy. A stepwedge-based technique has been used to measure...
Conventional risk models for the development of breast cancer use inputs such as age, weight, hormonal factors and family history to compute individual breast cancer risk. These are employed in the management of women at high risk. The addition of breast density as an input has been shown to improve the accuracy of such models. An improved risk model could facilitate risk-based population screening...
