[EN] Background and Objective: Breast density assessed from digital mammograms is a biomarker for higher risk of developing breast cancer. Experienced radiologists assess breast density using the Breast Image and Data ...
[EN] Breast density assessed from digital mammograms is a known biomarker related to a higher risk of developing breast cancer. Supervised learning algorithms have been implemented to determine this. However, the performance ...
[EN] Background
The breast dense tissue percentage on digital mammograms is one of the most commonly used markers for breast cancer risk estimation. Geometric features of dense tissue over the breast and the presence of ...

[EN] Objectives: Mammographic density (MD) is a strong risk factor for breast cancer. The present study evaluates the association between relative caloric intake and MD in Spanish women.
Study design: We conducted a ...
The task of breast density quantification is becoming increasingly relevant due to its association with breast cancer risk. In this work, a semi-automated and a fully automated tools to assess breast density from full-field ...

[EN] Background: The role of fatty acids (FAs) on mammographic density (MD) is unclear, and available studies are based on self-reported dietary intake.
Objectives: This study assessed the association between specific ...
[EN] We explored the relationship between sleep patterns and sleep disorders and mammographic density
(MD), a marker of breast cancer risk. Participants in the DDM-Spain/var-DDM study, which included 2878
middle-aged Spanish ...
[EN] Objectives: The association between breast cancer (BC) and thyroid disorders has been widely explored with unclear results. Mammographic density (MD) is one of the strongest risk factor for BC. This study explores the ...
We developed a semi-automated tool to assess mammographic density (MD), a phenotype risk marker for breast cancer (BC), in full-field digital images and evaluated its performance testing its reproducibility, comparing our ...
