Breast mapping and abnormality localization

A method for imaging a breast, the method comprising:

• receiving ultrasound data for a breast scanned with an ultrasound probe;
• executing an image analysis technique to identify one or more anatomical structures of the breast;
• generating, from the identified one or more anatomical structures, a mapping of the one or more structures of the breast;
• analyzing the mapping of the one or more anatomical structures to determine a statistical correlation between the mapping of the one or more anatomical structures and data for an aggregation of mappings of the one or more anatomical structures for other breasts;
• and
• based on the determined statistical correlation, generating a risk assessment for the breast.

A system for imaging ducts of a breast, the system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• memory, operatively connected to the at least one processor, storing instructions that when executed by the at least one processor cause the system to perform a set of operations comprising:
• receiving ultrasound data for a breast scanned with an ultrasound probe;
• executing an image analysis technique to identify one or more anatomical structures of the breast;
• generating, from the identified one or more anatomical structures, a mapping of the one or more anatomical structures of the breast;
• extracting at least one feature from the mapping of the one or more anatomical structures;
• comparing the extracted at least one feature to a threshold value;
• and
• based on the comparison of the extracted at least one feature to the threshold value, generating a risk assessment for the breast.
