Quantification of breast density using dual energy mammography
Description: Breast density has been identified as an important yet underutilized risk factor in the development of breast cancer. Subjective visual assessment alone is inadequate to quantify breast density. The goal of this proposal is to develop a method to objectively and quantitatively measure the density of a woman's breast using dual energy mammography. The proposed method provides a volumetric measure of breast density and it has the potential to be incorporated into routine screening mammography.
