Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Mammographic density is a strong risk factor for breast cancer. METHODS: We present a novel approach to enhance area density measures that takes advantage of the relative density of the pectoral muscle that appears in lateral mammographic views. We hypothesized that the grey scale of film mammograms is normalized to volume breast density but not pectoral density and thus pectoral density becomes an...
