Computer-extracted global radiomic features can predict the radiologists' first impression about the abnormality of a screening mammogram.

Global mammographic radiomic features can accurately predict high- from low-gist images with five features identified to be valuable in describing high-gist images. These are critical in providing better understanding of the mammographic image characteristics that drive the strength of the GGSs which could be exploited to advance breast cancer (BC) screening and risk prediction, enabling early detection and treatment of BC thereby further reducing BC-related deaths.
