PowerLook® Density Assessment

Product catalog summary
Introduction
PowerLook® Density Assessment is an automated solution designed to standardize breast density assessment in 2D and 3D mammography. It aids radiologists in evaluating breast density to identify patients who may require additional screening or are at higher risk of breast cancer.
Challenge
The primary challenge addressed is the need for meaningful, accurate, and consistent breast density assessments.
Solution
PowerLook Density Assessment uses an appearance-based approach to deliver rapid and reproducible assessments of breast structure, texture, and fibroglandular dispersion. It aligns with the BI-RADS® reporting system for breast density categorization.
Clinical Relevance
Mammography is less effective in women with dense breast tissue, reducing sensitivity. The solution standardizes breast density assessment, simulates radiologist processes, and aids communication with referring physicians.
Benefits
PowerLook Density Assessment provides automatic and consistent results, addressing the clinical need for standardized assessments. It is the first FDA-cleared system using this methodology.
Breast Density Statistics
  • 50% of American women have dense breasts.
  • Mammography sensitivity is 48% in dense breasts.
  • Increased breast density correlates with higher breast cancer risk.
Advanced Algorithm
The algorithm analyzes fibroglandular tissue structure, texture, and dispersion, aligning with BI-RADS standards. It was validated in a study with expert radiologists, showing statistical agreement in breast density assessment.
Conclusion
PowerLook Density Assessment enhances the analysis of dense breast tissue, aligning with BI-RADS standards and providing a consistent protocol for managing the screening process.

PowerLook® Density Assessment-1

PowerLook® Density Assessment Automated Breast Density Assessment for Accurate and Objective Breast Density Scoring Challenge Establishing meaningful, accurate, consistent breast density assessment. Solution PowerLook Density Assessment is an automated breast density solution that is designed to standardize the assessment of breast density in 2D and 3D1 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® reporting system. Benefits Include • Addresses clinical need to standardize breast density assessment between radiologists • Assists in communication of breast density with referring physicians • Delivers automatic and consistent breast density results across all patient populations • Provides a consistent protocol to manage the screening process • Simulates the radiologist’s diagnostic process to quickly and accurately assess breast density Clinical Relevance of Automated Breast Density – Going Deeper Than Volume Mammography is considered to be the gold standard in breast cancer screening. However, mammography has been proven to be less effective in women with dense breast tissue. Patients may experience reduced sensitivity of digital mammography based on their dense breast tissue.
