Other Imaging Findings
Mammography
Mammography is considered as the first and mainstay for evaluation of palpable masses in women over 40 years[1] [2]
Diagnostic mammogram contains particular views by focal compression of specific part of breast tissue[3]
Indication of diagnostic mammography:
- Breast symptoms such as palpable masses
- Positive history of breast cancer in last 5 years
- Required additional imaging due to abnormal screening mammogram including(calcification, masses, architectural distortion, asymmetries)
There is standard method for reporting mammographic findings which is called breast imaging reporting and database system(BI-RADS).
