Abstract: Methods and apparatus for using a biomarker signature to determine whether a breast tumor is malignant by comparing imaging data for the breast tumor to the signature, the signature derived using Quantitative Textural Analysis (QTA) and expressed in the form: Y=XCx+B; where: Y is a predictive indicator ranging from 0 to 1; B is a constant; Cx is a coefficient; and X is the mean positive pixel (MPP) value associated with the breast tumor under inspection.
