An abnormal mammogram often will detect a mass, a cluster of calcifications, or both; these findings are not pathognomonic and require a tissue diagnosis to confirm the presence of invasive cancer, in situ cancer, or a nonmalignant process. Although mammography is very sensitive, its abnormaliti...
The subject matter is organized according to the site of origin in the breast to give the reader a fundamental appreciation for the pathologic process as it is manifested on the mammogram. The initial chapter, titled "The Healthy Breast," includes discussions on normal and abnormal development, ...

Breast cancer runs in Poindexter’s family. Her mother, uncle, aunt, great-aunt and grandmother all had the disease. The sonographer could see that several of Poindexter’s lymph nodes were abnormal. A biopsy was performed immediately a...
Six of 12 procedures (50.0%) were performed for mammographically detected calcifications, four cases for a mass, one for an "abnormal mammogram," and one for galactorrhea. Calcifications were present in PLH in 10 biopsies, in benign terminal ducts in one specimen, and were not identified ...
A method for automated detection of abnormal anatomic regions, wherein a mammogram is digitized to produce a digital image and the digital image is processed using local edge gradient analysis and linear pattern analysis in addition to feature extraction routines to identify abnormal anatomic regions....
Breast cancer is uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells at milk producing glands in the breast or in the ducts and is a leading cause of increase in mortality for women. Mammogram is one of the effective techniques for early detection of breast cancer. Breast masses can be classified into normal...
Screening procedures The screening program keeps mammogram registers with data from participants and the final outcome of screening. Two results of a screening test are possible: normal findings (for which screening mammography at 2 years is recommended) and abnormal findings, which require further ...
Early detection of breast cancer is crucial for a better prognosis. Various studies have been conducted where tumor lesions are detected and localized on images. This is a narrative review where the studies reviewed are related to five different image modalities: histopathological, mammogram, magnetic...
