<p>A method, system and computer readable medium for the computerized assessment of breast cancer risk, wherein a digital image (1100) of a breast is obtained and at least one feature area extracted (1102) from a region of interest in the digital. The extracted features (1102) are compared with a predetermined model (1106) associating patterns of the extracted features with a risk estimate (1108). Preferred features to be extracted from the digital image include: 1) one or more features based on absolute values of gray levels of pixels in said region of interest; 2) one or more features based on gray-level histogram analysis of pixels in said region of interest; (3) one or more features based on Fourier analysis of pixels values in said region of interest; 4) one or more features based on a spatial relationship among gray levels of pixels within the region of interest.</p> |
