Problem the AI is intended to solve

Densitas densityai™ is a software application intended for use with compatible full field digital mammography and digital breast tomosynthesis systems.

Densitas densityai™ produces adjunctive information. It is not a diagnostic aid.

Expected benefits

Automated breast density calculation.
