The method employs lesion characterization for characterizing the lesion, and risk assessment based on the lesion's surroundings, i.e., the environment local and distal to the lesion. Computerized methods both characterize mammographic lesions and assess the breast parenchymal pattern on mammograms, resulting in improved characterization of lesions for specific subpopulations, combining the benefits of both techniques. 000006695 690__ $$aBiological Sciences Division 000006695 691__ $$aRadiology 000006695 7011_ $$aGiger, MaryEllen L.$$uUniversity of Chicago 000006695 7011_ $$aHuo, Zhimin$$uUniversity of Chicago 000006695 7011_ $$aVyborny, Carl J.$$uUniversity of Chicago 000006695 7121_ $$aUniversity of Chicago 000006695 7131_ $$aUniversity of Chicago 000006695 8564_ $$9bf50da80-0b75-4666-bea9-ca62a98ca274$$s1304850$$uhttps://knowledge.uchicago.edu/record/6695/files/US7123762.pdf$$ePublic 000006695 909CO $$ooai:uchicago.tind.io:6695$$pGLOBAL_SET 000006695 983__ $$aPatent
