   <dc:description>Breast density has demonstrated to be an important risk factor for the development of breast cancer and,&#xd;
therefore, different fully automated density assessment tools have been introduced to obtain quantitative glandu-&#xd;
lar tissue measures. Density maps (DMs) provide local tissue information, representing the amount of glandular&#xd;
tissue between the image receptor and the x-ray source at every pixel in the image. Usually, DMs are obtained&#xd;
from for processing, i.e. raw, mammograms. This fact could become a tricky problem because this type of&#xd;
images are not preserved in the clinical setting. The aim of this work is to introduce a deep learning based&#xd;
framework to synthesize glandular tissue DMs from for presentation mammograms. First, the breast region is&#xd;
located using a dedicated object detector network. Next, a generative adversarial network is used to obtain&#xd;
synthetic density maps, that are useful to evaluate not only the glandular tissue distribution but also the total&#xd;
glandular tissue volume within the breast. Results show that synthetic DMs obtain a structural similarity index&#xd;
of SSIM = 0.93 ± 0.06 with respect to real images. Similarly, shared information between the real and syn-&#xd;
thetic images, computed using the histogram intersection, corresponds to HI = 0.84 ± 0.10, while the average&#xd;
pixel difference represents only 3.85 ± 2.78 % of breast thickness. Furthermore, glandular tissue volume (GTV)&#xd;
obtained from synthetic density map show a strong correlation with the value provided by the real one (ρ = 0.89&#xd;
[C.I 0.87 − 0.91]). In conclusion, generative deep learning models can be useful to evaluate breast composition,&#xd;
from local to global tissue distribution.</dc:description>
