Went into for a routine mammogram. Results show my tissue is dense (nothing new) but they noticed some calcifications so recommended I get a diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound. Scheduled for March 16, 2023. We'll see what it is. If it is suspicious, then I guess biopsy would be next step after this. If ends up being a tumor, most likely is Stage 0, if it's only in the milk duct and not in the tissue. In which case surgery and radiation should take care of it. Let's hope it's nothing serious.
EXAM: TOMOSYNTHESIS DIGITAL SCREENING BILATERAL MAMMOGRAPHY
HISTORY: 50-year-old female, routine screening evaluation.
TECHNIQUE: Using a digital tomosynthesis system, tomosynthesis (3-D imaging) bilateral CC and MLO mammograms were performed.
COMPARISON: None available.
FINDINGS:
Tissue Density: The breasts are heterogeneously dense, which may obscure small masses.
Indeterminate asymmetry with associated calcifications is identified in the superior left breast on MLO image 8. No suspicious mass, distortion or calcifications are otherwise identified within either breast.
IMPRESSION: Indeterminate findings in the left breast.
ASSESSMENT: BI-RADS Category 0: Incomplete. Need additional imaging evaluation.
RECOMMENDATION: Additional imaging.
