Dense Breasts. Breast density is a proportional measure of the glandular, connective and fatty tissues within a woman's breasts. It is most commonly determined using mammography, a diagnostic test that uses low dose x-rays. Having dense breasts is not an abnormal condition; in fact, about half of all women over 40 have dense breasts.

Systems and methods for correlating regions of interest in multiple imaging modalities

Methods and systems for identifying a region of interest in breast tissue utilize artificial intelligence to confirm that a target lesion identified during imaging the breast tissue using a first imaging modality (e.g. x-ray imaging) has been identified using a second imaging modality (e.g. ultrasound imaging). A computing system operating a lesion matching engine utilizes a machine learning classifier algorithm trained on cases of x-ray images and corresponding ultrasound images in which lesions were identified for further analysis. The lesion matching engine analyzes a target lesion identified with x-ray imaging and a potential lesion identified with ultrasound imaging to determine a likelihood that the target lesion is the same as the potential lesion. A confidence level indicator for the lesion match is presented on a display of a computing device to aid a healthcare provider in locating a lesion in breast tissue.
