A new near-term breast cancer risk prediction scheme based on the quantitative analysis of ipsilateral view mammograms

The study results showed moderately high positive association between computed risk scores using the “prior” negative mammograms and the actual outcome of the image-detectable breast cancers in the next subsequent screening examinations. The study also demonstrated that quantitative analysis of the ipsilateral views of the mammograms enabled to provide useful information in predicting near-term breast cancer risk.
