A method, system and computer readable medium for the computerized assessment of breast cancer risk, wherein a digital image of a breast is obtained and at least one feature, and typically plural features, are extracted from a region of interest in the digital. The extracted features are compared with a predetermined model associating patterns of the extracted features with a risk estimate derived from corresponding feature patterns associated with a predetermined model based on gene carrier information or clinical information, or both gene carrier information and clinical information, and a risk classification index is output as a result of the comparison. 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 pixel values in said region of interest; and 4) one or more features based on a spatial relationship among gray levels of pixels within the region of interest.
