Breast parenchymal patterns in processed versus raw digital mammograms: A large population study toward assessing differences in quantitative measures across image representations

Abstract

Differences in measures from processed versus raw DM depend highly on the feature, the DM vendor, and image acquisition settings, where structural features appear to be more robust across the different DM settings. The reported findings may serve as a reference in the design of future large-scale studies on mammographic features and breast cancer risk assessment involving multiple DM representations.
