Relationships between computer-extracted mammographic texture pattern features and BRCA1/2 mutation status: a cross-sectional study

Introduction Mammographic density is similar among women at risk of either sporadic or BRCA1/2-related breast cancer. It has been suggested that digitized mammographic images contain computer-extractable information within the parenchymal pattern, which may contribute to distinguishing between BRCA1/2 mutation carriers and non-carriers.
