Journal of medical imaging (Bellingham, Wash.)·2025

This study demonstrates that computer vision techniques can accurately estimate breast density for breast cancer risk assessment. Automatic classification achieved 82% agreement with manual methods using the BIRADS standard.

Area of Science:

  • Medical imaging
  • Computer vision
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Breast tissue density is a significant risk factor for breast cancer.
  • Accurate breast density classification is crucial for risk assessment.
  • Existing methods often lack standardization or automation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review feature extraction strategies for breast tissue classification.
  • To demonstrate the feasibility of automatic breast density estimation using computer vision.
  • To highlight the benefits of breast segmentation based on internal tissue information.

Main Methods:

  • Review of feature extraction techniques in tissue classification.
  • Application of computer vision algorithms for breast density estimation.

    • Main Results:

    • Computer vision techniques are feasible for automatic breast density estimation.
    • Segmentation based on internal tissue information offers significant benefits.
    • An agreement of 82% was achieved between automatic and manual classification according to BIRADS categories.

    Conclusions:

    • Automatic computer vision methods can reliably classify breast tissue density.
    • This approach supports standardized breast cancer risk assessment.
    • The findings validate the use of automated techniques aligned with the BIRADS classification.
