1 m.0:01
Okay, this is a 43-year-old female,
0:02
uh, presenting for screening mammogram.
0:05
You can see the, uh, image quality is good.
0:07
You can see the pectoralis muscle, adequate CC
0:10
views, and as well, looking at this in general,
0:13
we can see some increased density here in the
0:17
medial aspect of both breasts on the CC view.
0:20
Some skin thickening along the IMFs here, you
0:23
see, do see a few faint calcifications here, here.
0:27
We look at those CC views, you can scroll
0:30
through the DBT slices here and notice that
0:33
that parenchymal density that we're seeing is more
0:37
along the inferior aspect of the breast.
0:40
In fact, some part of it just seems
0:42
like it extends all the way from the
0:44
nipple towards this inferior aspect.
0:47
These findings we can see in, um, reduction surgery.
0:51
We can confirm this in the patient's clinical history.
0:55
With that knowledge, these findings
0:57
are, can be considered benign, uh,
1:00
and that no further workup is needed.
1:04
Similarly, on the MLO view, we might see a little
1:06
bit of skin thickening here along the IMF as
1:08
part of the surgical incision, and occasionally
1:11
we might see some perilobular calcifications,
1:13
although we don't see them in this case.
