ADIPOSE TISSUE PERCENTAGE EVALUATION IN MAMMARY GLAND Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC A61B10/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to the endocrinology, oncology and radiotherapy. It is used for the diagnosis and assessment of the adipose tissue percentage in the mammary gland. The lattice is imposed on the mammogram with the squares sized 2 x 2 cm. Depending on the fat content there are identified the groups with its content which equals to 0-10%, > 10 - 25%, > 25-50%, > 50-75%, > 75-90% and > 90%. These groups are assigned the points from 1 to 6. Then the fat content ratio is calculated. The coefficient is a quotient from the sum division by the total number of squares. This method allows improving the accuracy of the adipose tissue percentage evaluation in the mammary glands of the women with postmenopausal and reproductive age on the basis of the analysis of mammograms.

EFFECT: improving the accuracy of the adipose tissue percentage evaluation in the mammary glands of the women with postmenopausal and reproductive age on the basis of the analysis of mammograms.
