Summary:

Description
  • Radiopaedia case ID: 21654
  • Image ID: 2922294
  • Study findings: The reader judges the small density is a new finding compared with the previous mammogram and recalls the patient for workup. Do you agree? Look carefully at the CC view of 2012 and compare it with the 2013 image above. The positioning of the newest study is better than the previous image. On the 2012 CC view there is significant rotation of the breast medially relative to the axis of the nipple. There is significant less of the retromammary fat medially compared with laterally. It is quite possible the small density is just not on the image....
  • Modality: Mammography
  • System: Breast
  • Findings: The small density medially deep in the breast catches the eye of the reader. The MLO view does not contribute any information you don't already have.
