Breast asymmetry refers towhen one breast is a different size or shape than the other. A mammogram or breast cancer screening may show asymmetrical breast size or density. What does this mean for a woman's health? Most women's breasts are slightly different in size, shape, and position. Ho...
Previous work with registration in mammogram registration has focused predominantly on aligning the boundary of the breast in each mammogram (Marias et al. 1999, =-=Karssemeijer and Brake 1998-=-). In our method, we automatically calculate the location of the nipple and the points between the...

Asymmetric density represents an area of tissue with fibroglandular structures that is more extensive in one breast relative to the corresponding region in contralateral breast. Once asymmetric density is identified on a mammogram, its nature has to be determined....
Methods: This study included 60 female patients who presented for screening and diagnostic mammogram at mammography unit in Egyptian National Cancer Institute. All enrolled cases had focal breast asymmetries detected on mammogram. Ultrasound examination and CESM using dual-energy acquisitions were performed...
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study on a database of opportunist screening mammography at the Breast Clinic, Cancer Center, at Tehran University of Medical Sciences from January 2017 to December 2018. Mammogram screenings (n = 12,169) were evaluated for developing asymmetry. Findi...
Architectural distortion (AD) and asymmetry is an important finding on a screening mammogram as they may be a finding of a breast cancer. These findings are being increasing noted due to improved imaging techniques such as digital breast tomosynthesis. Given that DBT reduces false positives and ...
MammogramSpatial frequency componentHistogramSimilarityThe right and left mammograms of a patient are assumed to be bilaterally symmetric for image readings. The detection of asymmetry in bilateral mammograms is a reliable indicator for detecting possible breast abnormalities. The purpose of this study was...
