A Framework of Breast Density Estimation System for Breast Magnetic Resonance Images

Breast density, which is defined as the proportion of fibro glandular tissues in a breast, is a potential indicator for breast cancer risk. This paper proposes an information system entitled BREASDEN (BREASt DENsity) to estimate breast density in breast magnetic resonance (MR) images.
