BREAST CANCER RISK ASSESSMENT

摘要

The present invention relates to breast cancer screening. In order to improve the detection rate in breast cancer screening and to enhance cancer risk assessment, according to the present invention, first image data (202) of a breast of a patient is provided (201); and second image data (204) of a breast of the patient. The first image data and the second image data are registered (205) and non-congruency (207) between the breast of the first image data and the breast of the second image data is determined (206). The non-congruency information (209) is provided (208) to the user. For example, the first and second image data are 3D image data sets. According to an example, the non-congruency information is provided as multivariate non-congruency information indicating at least two measured non-congruency parameters. According to a further example, the non-congruency is determined based on parameters related to the breast tissue as well as breast tissue unrelated parameters.
