Abstract

Mammographic risk assessment provides an indication of the likelihood of women developing breast cancer. A number of mammographic image based classification methods have been developed, such as Wolfe, Boyd, BI-RADS and Tabár based assessment. We provide a comparative study of these four approaches. Results on the full MIAS database are presented, which indicate strong correlation (Spearman's 0.9) between Wolfe, Boyd and BI-RADS based classification, whilst the correlation with Tabár based classification is less straight forward (Spearman's
