Breast density quantification in dual-energy mammography using virtual anthropomorphic phantoms
CONCLUSIONS: Our results in virtual phantoms indicate that the material decomposition method can produce accurate VBD measurements if the presence of a third material (skin) is considered. The results from our proof of concept showed agreement between MRI and dual-energy mammography VBD. Assessment of VBD using dual-energy images could provide complementary information in dual-energy mammography and tomosynthesis examinations.PMID:38648734 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14360
