The detection of breast cancer relies on high-quality images from digital mammography. Optimal levels of compression force are unknown, and UK national guidelines recommend forces of less than 200N. However, large variations in compression forces exi... Read More about Volumetric breast density and radiographic parameters.

Conventional risk models for the development of breast cancer use inputs such as age, weight, hormonal factors and family history to compute individual breast cancer risk. These are employed in the management of women at high risk. The addition of br... Read More about Estimating individual cancer risks in the UK national breast screening programme: A feasibility study.
