Digital Mammography in Breast Cancer: Additive Value of Radiomics of Breast Parenchyma.

ABSTRACT: Background Previous studies have suggested that breast parenchymal texture features may reflect the biologic risk factors associated with breast cancer development. Therefore, combining the characteristics of normal parenchyma from the contralateral breast with radiomic features of breast tumors may improve the accuracy of digital mammography in the diagnosis of breast cancer. Purpose To determine whether the addition of radiomic analysis of contralateral breast parenchyma to the characterization of breast lesions with digital mammography improves lesion classification over that with radiomic tumor features alone. Materials and Methods This HIPAA-compliant, retrospective study included 182 patients (age range, 25-90 years; mean age, 55.9 years ± 14.9) who underwent mammography between June
