Overview

Dense breasts can make it challenging to detect breast cancer during annual screenings as overlapping tissue can hide or mimic breast cancer. Breast density assessment has traditionally been determined by the radiologist’s visual assessment, but studies show that these can vary and clinicians may even disagree with their own assessment year to year.(1, 2) 

PowerLook Density Assessment software removes the challenges of subjectivity in breast density reporting. Using full field digital mammography (FFDM) or synthetic 2D images, it analyses the dispersion and texture of breast tissue, delivering clinicians a consistent, accurate, and reliable patient-specific breast density assessment.

Features

PowerLook Density Assessment reports on: 

• Overall BI-RADS 5th Edition breast density category 
• Value of the BI-RADS 5th Edition breast density score and where it falls on the BI-RADS breast density scale 

The solution places a ‘+’ or ‘-’ next to the overall BI-RADS 5th Edition breast density category to designate whether the BI-RADS breast density score is within the upper 75% or the lower 25% of the BIRADS breast density category. 

Benefits

• Provides objective and consistent breast density assessments. 
• Ability to integrate and automate breast density reporting within the facility’s RIS/MIS.
• High matching accuracy for dense and non-dense assessment.
