Abstract

Mammographic scoring of density and texture are established methods to relate to the risk of breast cancer. We present a method that learns descriptive features from unlabeled mammograms and, using these learned features as the input to a simple classifier, address the following tasks: i) breast tissue segmentation ii) scoring of percentage mammographic density (PMD), and iii) scoring of mammographic texture (MT). Our results suggest that the learned PMD scores correlate well to manual ones, and that the learned MT scores are more related to future cancer risk than both manual and automatic PMD scores.
