The mammography image eccentric area is the breast density percentage measurement. The technical challenge of quantification in radiology leads to misinterpretation in screening. Data feedback from society, institutional, and industry shows that quantification and segmentation frameworks have rapidly become the primary methodologies for structuring and interpreting mammogram digital images. Segmentation clustering algorithms have setbacks on overlapping clusters, proportion, and multidimensional scaling to map and leverage the data. In combination, mammogram quantification creates a long-standing focus area. The algorithm proposed must reduce complexity and target data points distributed in iterative, and boost cluster centroid merged into a single updating process to evade the large storage requirement. The mammogram database's initial test segment is critical for evaluating performance and determining the Area Under the Curve (AUC) to alias with medical policy. In addition, a new image clustering algorithm anticipates the need for largescale serial and parallel processing. There is no solution on the market, and it is necessary to implement communication protocols between devices. Exploiting and targeting utilization hardware tasks will further extend the prospect of improvement in the cluster. Benchmarking their resources and performance is required. Finally, the medical imperatives cluster was objectively validated using qualitative and quantitative inspection. The proposed method should overcome the technical challenges that radiologists face.
