A big win for South Australian women today! We're the first state in Australia to report all categories of breast density to all women attending BreastScreen. Such important information for women to know so they can make the best choices for their breast health.

We've been working on new imaging technologies that can detect breast cancer in high #BreastDensity tissue, and I'm very pleased to share our first publication where we investigate the wave propagation characteristics of breast tissues doi.org/10.3390/math11…

There is growing awareness of #BreastDensity in Australia, but is this awareness leading to knowledge of what breast density actually is? In this pre-print, we investigate the factors associated with increased knowledge of breast density. doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.…

I'm really excited about how artificial intelligence is enabling us to look deeper into the patterns of breast density on a mammogram and pull out the features that most strongly predict future breast cancer. See our new paper for the full story. authors.elsevier.com/c/1kFk88Z12yXi…
