Small calcium deposits within the breast tissue; can be benign or indicate presence of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or invasive cancer.

Dense breast tissue comprising fibrous connective tissue and glandular tissue; can obscure masses, making detection of abnormalities more difficult.

Differences in the size, shape, or density of breast tissue between the two breasts; can be normal or may indicate pathology.

Alteration of breast tissue structure without a definite mass; suggests potential pathology such as cancer or radial scars.

Area of abnormal tissue; characteristics determine likelihood of benignity or malignancy (shape, margins, density).

Increased thickness of skin on the breast; can be due to conditions such as edema, infection, or inflammatory breast cancer.

Inward pulling of the skin on the breast; often represents an underlying mass or cancer causing tethering of the skin.

Enlargement of axillary (underarm) lymph nodes; can be a response to infection or a sign of metastatic disease.

Calcium deposits with specific patterns suggesting non-cancerous conditions, such as vascular calcifications, dermal calcifications, or cysts.

Calcium deposits with patterns suggesting malignancy, requiring biopsy to rule out DCIS or invasive carcinoma.

Benign condition where there's death of fatty tissue, often appearing as calcifications or a mass; can mimic cancer on mammograms.

Benign, well-defined, lucent lesion with possible calcifications; often a sequela of fat necrosis.

Enlargement of the milk ducts; may indicate an underlying condition such as duct ectasia or intraductal pathology.

Thickening of the connective tissue supporting the breasts; can be associated with edema, inflammation, or cancer.

Inward pulling of the nipple; can be a benign finding or indicate underlying pathology such as malignancy.

Calcium deposits within lymph nodes; typically benign but may occasionally be associated with metastatic disease.

Slight density difference that's visible on two mammographic views; if persistent, can indicate a developing mass.

Breast tissue that appears more prominent or dense on one side; may be normal or due to overlapping tissue, requires further evaluation.

Increased volume of breast tissue in one breast compared to the other; if new or enlarging, necessitates further investigation.

Normal lymph nodes within the breast tissue; typically benign but can sometimes be reactive or have focal calcifications.

Benign breast lesion that radiates from a central point; can be associated with malignancy and usually warrants biopsy.

A benign, tumor-like growth of normal breast tissue components; also known as a 'breast mouse,' it's usually well-circumscribed.

Breasts with high proportion of fibroglandular tissue to fat; increases cancer risk and can make it harder to detect tumors on mammography.

A specialized mammography technique that enlarges a specific area; helps in characterizing calcifications and evaluating lesion margins.

A mammography technique that compresses a small area of the breast to improve image quality; useful for characterizing masses and architectural distortions.

Use of breast ultrasound in conjunction with mammography to further evaluate abnormalities and characterize lesions.

Advanced imaging technique using magnetic resonance for detailed breast tissue examination; highly sensitive for cancer detection, especially in dense breasts.

Calcifications with variations in shape and size; associated with a higher risk of malignancy.

Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System; a standardized breast imaging assessment and reporting system indicating the risk of cancer.
