title = "Breast Parenchymal Pattern Analysis in Digital Mammography: Associations between Tab{\'a}r and Birads Tissue Compositions ",
abstract = "We investigated the associations between Tab{\'a}r based breast parenchymal patterns and Birads density parenchymal patterns in digital mammography. Breast parenchymal texture was analysed on a set of mammographc images segmented based on Tab{\'a}r tissue modelling. Visual assessment indicates good and anatomically improved segmentation on tissue specific areas. At the tissue modelling stage, over and/or under training can cause tissue composition fluctuation between nodular and homogeneous tissue, whilst the percentages of radiolucent tissue are less sensitive to the algorithm{\textquoteright}s parameter configurations. The clear depiction with digital mammography allows a better segmentation on tissue specific areas, which indicates that the breast parenchymal texture may be utilised in mammographic interpretation as the new technology advances further. The average tissue compositions for the Tab{\'a}r parenchymal patterns show inadequate compositions of nodular and homogeneous tissue. Stronger associates were found between Tab{\'a}r tissue compositions for [nodular, homogeneous], [nodular, homogeneous, radiolucent] and Birads breast density classes I and IV.",
