A Multiscale Blob Representation of Mammographic Parenchymal Patterns and Mammographic Risk Assessment

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series:Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNIP,volume 8048))

Abstract

Mammographic parenchymal patterns have been found to be a strong indicator of breast cancer risk and play an important role in mammographic risk assessment. In this paper, a novel representation of mammographic parenchymal patterns is proposed, which is based on multiscale blobs. Approximately blob-like tissue patterns are detected over a range of scales and parenchymal patterns are represented as a set of blobs. Spatial relations between blobs are considered to reduce the overlap between connected dense tissue regions. Quantitative measures of breast density are calculated from the resulting blobs and used for mammographic risk assessment. The proposed approach is evaluated using the full MIAS database and a large dataset from the DDSM database. A high agreement with expert radiologists is indicated according to the BIRADS density classification. The classification accuracies for the MIAS and DDSM databases are up to 79.44% and 76.90%, respectively.
