Excerpt

Increased mammographic density is a well-established risk factor for breast cancer; much of the evidence is based on semi-automated or visual assessment of analogue mammograms, although volumetric measures from digitally acquired mammograms are now being reported. It is also possible to quantify volumes of fat and gland from digitised analogue mammograms, given suitable calibration data. We have measured breast density in cancer cases and controls which had previous analogue screening mammograms in the PROCAS (Predicting Risk Of Cancer At Screening) study. …
