Description of use

PowerLook® Density Assessment is an automated breast density solution that is designed to standardize the assessment of breast density in 2D and 3D (2D synthetic images) mammography. PowerLook Density Assessment assists radiologists in evaluating and scoring breast density to identify patients who may need supplemental screening or be at higher risk of developing breast cancer. This solution uses an appearance-based approach to assess dense tissue, to deliver automated, rapid and reproducible assessments of breast structure, texture, and fibroglandular dispersion. This innovative technique calibrates the patient’s breast density to the appropriate density category corresponding to BI-RADS® 5th Edition reporting system, which accounts for dense tissue that could be masking cancer. The masking risk is correlated to both the amount and distribution of fibroglandular tissue.
