New breast cancer research has been reported by scientists at University of Chicago, Department of Radiology

New research, "Fractal analysis of mammographic parenchymal patterns in breast cancer risk assessment," is the subject of a report. "To evaluate fractal-based computerized image analyses of mammographic parenchymal patterns in the task of differentiating between women at high risk and women at low risk for developing breast cancer. The fractal-based texture analyses are based on a box-counting method and a Minkowski dimension, and were performed within the parenchymal regions of normal mammograms. Four approaches were evaluated: 1) a conventional box-counting method, 2) a modified box-counting technique using linear discriminant analysis (LDA), 3) a global Minkowski dimension, and 4) a...
