Excerpt

Breast density is an important risk factor for breast cancer. Assessment of density at screening could help identify women at increased risk of cancer, who may benefit from screening with shorter intervals or different modalities. Visual analogue scale (VAS) assessment of percentage density by observers is straightforward to implement and strongly associated with cancer risk. However, using VAS assessment for stratification would require reproducibility between observers. We examine agreement between observers assessing VAS density. …
