ABSTRACT:
A method for classifying tissue density of a breast includes obtaining mammography image data and segmenting the mammography image to identify the region representing the breast tissue. A plurality of regions within the breast tissue region are identified for obtaining image features therefrom. A plurality of image features are computed from the identified plurality of regions. The breast tissue density is classified using the computed plurality of image features.
