Abstract
Breast density is considered a structural property of a mammogram that can change in various ways explaining
different effects of medicinal treatments. The aim of the present work is to provide a framework for obtaining more accurate and sensitive measurements of breast density changes related to specific effects like Hormonal Replacement Therapy (HRT) and aging. Given effect-grouped patient data, we demonstrated how anisotropic diffusion tensor and its coherence features computed in an anatomically oriented breast coordinate system
followed by statistical learning scheme provides non subjective and reproducible measure compare it to the traditional BIRADS and computer aided percent density measure. We also demonstrate how orientation of breast tissue changes in temporal study. This framework facilitates radiologist to assess breast tissue change and guide them to evaluate individual risk of having breast cancer.
