Breast density, as assessed by mammography, reflects breast tissue composition. Breast
epithelium and stroma attenuate x-rays more than fat and thus appear light on …

Microwave breast imaging (using electromagnetic waves of frequencies around 1 GHz) has
mostly remained at the research level for the past decade, gaining little clinical acceptance …

Purpose To examine the relationships between breast cancer and both amount of
fibroglandular tissue (FGT) and level of background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) at …

Purpose To investigate whether qualitative magnetic resonance (MR) imaging assessments
of background parenchymal enhancement (BPE), amount of fibroglandular tissue (FGT), and …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: We have developed a microwave tomography system for
experimental breast imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this article, we illustrate a …

CAD systems will play an increasingly important role in the clinic as a second reader.
Clinical trials have shown that CAD can improve the accuracy of breast-cancer detection …

OBJECTIVE. Breast density is documented to reduce sensitivity and specificity of
mammography. However, little is known regarding the effect of normal background …

A method is presented for estimation of dense breast tissue volume from mammograms
obtained with full-field digital mammography (FFDM). The thickness of dense tissue …

Breast density measurement is an important aspect in breast cancer diagnosis as dense
tissue has been related to the risk of breast cancer development. The purpose of this study is …

Breast density has been established as an independent risk factor associated with the
development of breast cancer. It is known that an increase of mammographic density is …
