Breast Density measurements using Spectral mammography and Philips MicroDose Mammography

NEW article regarding spectral mammography using Philips MicroDose and breast density measurements on mammography.
My colleague Sobhi Molloi from University of California, Irvine has been using dual energy mammography using the same system we use in Moffitt Cancer Center, Tampa FL.
This is unrelated to either the automated calibrated breast density measurements we have developed at Moffitt with John Heine PhD, or to the SXA method I have been working with John Shepherd PhD from The University of California, San Francisco.

Early results are promising, so we will have to collaborate to use the 3 separate tools to determine which type of method best represents personalized breast cancer risk from breast density.
