• Abstract: Lesion volume is an important predictor for prognosis in breast cancer. We make a step towards a more accurate lesion volume measurement on digital mammograms by developing a model that allows to estimate lesion volumes on processed mammograms, which are the images routinely used by radiologists in clinical practice as well as in breast cancer screening and are available in medical centers. Processed mammograms are obtained from raw mammograms, which are the X-ray data coming directly from the scanner, by applying certain vendor-specific non-linear transformations. At the core of our volume estimation method is a physics-based algorithm for measuring lesion volumes on raw mammograms. We subsequently extend this algorithm to processed mammograms via a deep learning image-to-image translation model that produces synthetic raw mammograms from processed mammograms in a multi-vendor setting. We assess the reliability and validity of our method using a dataset of 1778 mammograms with an annotated mass. Firstly, we investigate the correlations between lesion volumes computed from mediolateral oblique and craniocaudal views, with a resulting Pearson correlation of 0.93 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.92 - 0.93]. Secondly, we compare the resulting lesion volumes from true and synthetic raw data, with a resulting Pearson correlation of 0.998 [95% CI 0.998 - 0.998] . Finally, for a subset of 100 mammograms with a malign mass and concurrent MRI examination available, we analyze the agreement between lesion volume on mammography and MRI, resulting in an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.81 [95% CI 0.73 - 0.87] for consistency and 0.78 [95% CI 0.66 - 0.86] for absolute agreement. In conclusion, we developed an algorithm to measure mammographic lesion volume that reached excellent reliability and good validity, when using MRI as ground truth.
