Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and system that automatically classifies tissue type/patterns and density categories in mammograms. More particularly, the present invention relates to improving the quality of assessing density and tissue pattern distribution in mammography. According to a first aspect, there is provided a computer-aided method of analysing mammographic images, the method comprising the steps of: receiving a mammogram; segmenting one or more anatomical regions of the mammogram; identifying a tissue type and a density category classification for an anatomical region; and using the identified tissue type and density category classifications to generate classifications output for the mammogram.
