The breast density information is one of important factors for estimating the risk in breast cancer detection and early prevention. In this paper, we present two methods, including threshold-based and proportion-based, to automatically analyze the breast density using whole breast ultrasound. The two algorithms are experimented with 32 cases which are scanned from 32 patients using the US machine SSD-5500 with a recent developed scanner ASU-1004 (Aloka, Japan). The experimental results are graded from 4 (extremely dense tissue) to 1 (almost entirely fat), and respectively compared with the majority grades of three radiologists. The accuracy of the threshold-based and proportion-based strategies is 88% and 84% respectively.
