Mammography remains the primary screening strategy for breast cancer, which continues to be the most prevalent cancer diagnosis among women globally. Because screening mammograms capture both the left and right breast, there is a nonnegligible correlation between the pair of images. Previous studies have explored the concept of averaging between the pair of images after proper image registration; however, no comparison has been made in directly utilizing the paired images. In this paper, we extend the bivariate functional principal component analysis over triangulations to jointly characterize the pair of imaging data bounded in an irregular domain and then nest the extracted features within the survival model to predict the onset of breast cancer. The method is applied to our motivating data from the Joanne Knight Breast Health Cohort at Siteman Cancer Center. Our findings indicate that there was no statistically significant difference in model discrimination performance between averaging the pair of images and jointly modeling the two images. Although the breast cancer study did not reveal any significant difference, it is worth noting that the methods proposed here can be readily extended to other studies involving paired or multivariate imaging data.
