High breast density is an independent risk factor for breast cancer. Mammography, the most widely used method for breast density determination, is limited by ionizing radiation exposure and its relatively low reliability for density assessment. We propose an automated, safe, and highly reproducible breast density measurement based on fat-water decomposition MRI. The technique yields a measure directly comparable to mammographic density which is easy for clinicians to use and for patients to understand.
