Combined Benefit of Quantitative Three-Compartment Breast Image Analysis and Mammography Radiomics in the Classification of Breast Masses in a Clinical Data Set.

ABSTRACT: Purpose To investigate the combination of mammography radiomics and quantitative three-compartment breast (3CB) image analysis of dual-energy mammography to limit unnecessary benign breast biopsies. Materials and Methods For this prospective study, dual-energy craniocaudal and mediolateral oblique mammograms were obtained immediately before biopsy in 109 women (mean age, 51 years; range, 31-85 years) with Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System category 4 or 5 breast masses (35 invasive cancers, 74 benign) from 2013 through 2017. The three quantitative compartments of water, lipid, and protein thickness at each pixel were calculated from the attenuation at high and low energy by using a within-image phantom. Masses were automatically segmented and features were extracted from the low-ener
