An overview of the automated breast density evaluation framework.

<p>The approach consists of three main steps: segmentation and bias field correction, breast tissue delineation, and fibroglandular tissue extraction. The results of the bias field correction (Step 1) are used both for breast tissue (Step 2) and parenchyma (Step 3) extraction. In Step 3, the results of Steps 1 and 2 are utilized for parenchyma extraction. The data flow is schematically explained by the lines, connecting the pipeline steps.
