An exploratory radiomics analysis on digital breast tomosynthesis in women with mammographically negative dense breasts.

CONCLUSION: Radiomics features in patients with dense breasts and negative mammography appear to differ between cancerous and normal breast tissue, with evidence of correlation with tumor size and estrogen receptors. This new information warrants further evaluation in larger studies and could contribute to improved understanding of breast cancer through imaging, and may support tailored screening and treatments.
