In mammography, an asymmetry is an area of increased density in 1 breast when compared to the corresponding area in the opposite breast. Most asymmetries are benign or caused by summation artifacts because of typical breast tissue superimposition during mammography, butan asymmetry can indicate breast ...
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....
Breast mammogram is another field in which such symmetry is impor- tant. The survey [2], points out that the vast majority of algorithms, first align the left and right breasts followed by extraction of the glandular tissue. Then various features like tumor appearance [5] are used to detect...
