A Review on Automatic Mammographic Density and Parenchymal Segmentation

Figure 8

Polynomial based trend lines for both area and volumetric based mammographic density/parenchymal segmentation approaches from 1992 to 2014. Note that the (blue) 2D trend line shows harmonic (e.g., interval peaks) behaviour which may be because a surge of manuscripts was submitted for publication at the same years (e.g., biannual) as the major breast imaging related conferences.
