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...
Breast asymmetry, whether corrected or not, has another feature attached to it. A study done in the UK in 2006 that was published in the Breast Cancer Research journal reported that each 3.38 ounce increase in breast asymmetry (measured by mammogram), predicted a 50% increase in the risk ...
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....
We demonstrate the ap- plication of our approach on brain MRI and breast mammogram. 1 Introduction Identifying regions that break the inherent symmetry of the human anatomy is widely used to detect abnormalities and tumors in MRIs', CTs' and mam- mograms. These regions are computed by either ...
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...
All enrolled cases had focal breast asymmetries detected on mammogram. Ultrasound examination and CESM using dual-energy acquisitions were performed for all included patients. Histopathology after ultrasound guided true cut biopsy was the standard reference for detecting lesions Results: Regarding overall ...

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...
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 ...
