Background:

Realistic 3D breast models are crucial for evaluating breast imaging applications.
Existing models often rely on empirical observations for parameter estimation.
Accurate modeling of fibroglandular and adipose tissues is essential for simulation fidelity.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose and validate a method for modeling small and medium-scale fibroglandular and intra-glandular adipose tissues in breast CT images.
To automatically and objectively infer medium-scale model parameters from clinical breast CT data.
To enhance the realism and morphological variety of 3D breast texture simulations.

Main Methods:

Utilized stochastic geometric processes, building on a previous model with mathematically tractable parameters.
Reconstructed ellipsoids representing adipose compartments using a multiple birth, death, and shift algorithm.
Applied a Matérn cluster process to fit ellipsoid centers and maximum likelihood estimators for shape and orientation distributions.
Validated feasibility on 16 volumes of interest (VOI) from breast CT images.

Main Results:

The hypothesis that random ellipsoids with cluster interaction represent adipose compartments was confirmed in 12 out of 16 VOIs.
Simulated texture images showed higher average beta values (3.7-4.2) compared to 2D clinical images (2.87).
Low-Frequency Error (LFE) metrics for simulated textures were similar to those from clinical mammograms.
The new inference method significantly improved visual realism and morphological variety compared to the previous empirical model.

Conclusions:

The proposed method objectively infers parameters from breast CT images, enabling the generation of more realistic 3D breast textures.
The validated clustering interaction model enhances the simulation of intra-glandular adipose tissue structures.
This advancement offers improved capabilities for evaluating breast imaging applications and developing new diagnostic tools.
