Breast Density Classification

As shown in the previous chapter, the internal density of the breast is a parameter that clearly affects the performance of all the studied segmentation algorithms. Surprisingly, most of these segmentation algorithms do not take this information into account, although density information can be extracted before using such algorithms. In this chapter we review different methods for computing such parameter, and we also present and exhaustively evaluate a new strategy.
