Value of tiny breast calcification in the diagnosis of breast mammography

Objective: To analyze the the imaging features of tiny breast calcification in the Molybdenum target X-ray film, to evaluate its clinical significance in the Breast cancer diagnosis. A contrastive analysis was conducted on the patients in two groups with shape, distribution, size, density and calcification quantity, compared with the pathological results. Results: Tiny calcification could appear on patients with breast benign lesion or malignant lesion. The amount of malignant lesion patients was 38, while the benign lesion patients was 29. The imaging features of malignant lesion calcification mainly manifested as different form, inequality of size, unevendensity, clusterdistribution, regional distribution or distribution along the conduit while benign lesion calcification mainly manifested as coarser particles, sharpness of border, and widely scattered. Conclusion: The imaging features of tiny breast calcification can be the reliable basis in identifying benign and malignant breast lesion, and is of great significance for the diagnosis of breast cancer.
