The purpose of this study is to perform an accurate and robust quantitative assessment to measure the effect of risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) on breast MRI fibroglandular tissue volume (FGT) and background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers. The study was conducted using a fully automated breast MRI image segmentation method for quantitative FGT and BPE estimation. Our results show that quantitative rates of BPE-related measures are different before and after RRSO, while FGT-related measures are not. The BPE-related measures could potentially be used as imaging biomarkers to assess response to RRSO as a risk reduction intervention.
