A method for assessing breast density executed at least in part by a computer system, identifies breast tissue from the electronic image data for at least one mammographic image, then performs an initial segmentation of fibroglandular tissue within the breast tissue according to at least one of gradient and uniformity data that is derived from the image data. The initial segmentation is refined using a pixel clustering process. A localized segmentation is obtained from the refined segmentation by generating and combining a density probability mapping and a homogeneity mapping from the image data. A percent density value for the at least one image is calculated and stored in a memory.
