1 m.0:00
Here we have a 50-year-old female presenting
0:02
for a screening mammogram. Image
0:04
quality looks, uh, at least adequate
0:06
in this case.
0:07
This, uh, pectoralis muscle is a little bit concave.
0:10
Uh, not the best.
0:10
Our technologist did get a repeat view,
0:13
and trying to get more IMFs and more.
0:17
Already on these SM views, we can see that the
0:19
patient has, uh, at least a couple areas that look
0:22
like, uh, masses, and we can investigate further
0:25
by looking into the, um, tomosynthesis slices individually.
0:29
As we scroll through from inferior to superior
0:31
here, the right CC view, we see this large mass
0:33
comes into view, uh, immediately here, as well
0:36
as, um, smaller mass here, further out lateral.
0:41
And we'll scroll through.
0:42
So far we see at least two on.
0:46
If we scroll through on the left CC view, um, you
0:49
can see several masses again coming to view, one
0:51
here very far out, one here, at least one here.
0:54
So we know already if we can, uh, indeed
0:57
verify that these are on the MLO views as well,
1:00
then we can verify that this is multiple bilateral
1:03
masses and therefore be considered benign.
1:06
So as we scroll through, right away, we see this
1:07
large mass in the inferior breast, and we also see
1:10
the smaller one up here in the superior, uh, breast.
1:14
A definition, uh, for mass.
1:18
On the left-hand side, we see
1:19
something similar with multiple masses.
1:21
Again, identify which correspond. The one we
1:23
see on our CC at one superior or central here,
1:27
and maybe perhaps a little bit inferior here.
1:29
Clearly meeting our criteria for multiple bilateral
1:32
masses, and this can be considered benign.
