Mammographic Mass

Join Practice

Classify mammographic masses based on BI-RADS attributes and the patient's age.

Background:

In mammography, a mass is defined as a space-occupying lesion, visible in two different projections, characteristic by its shape and contour. The asymmetry of the density, as opposed to the mass, corresponds to a localized asymmetric aspect of the mammary gland, without a defined contour. The mass should be measured and located. For this, a profile view, in addition to the external anterior posterior and oblique views is recommended. The mammogram with localized compression allows for a more precise analysis of the shape, contour and density of the mass. It is also useful to distinguish an image obtained by superposition of the mammary gland from a real mass.

 

Abstract: Discrimination of benign and malignant mammographic masses based on BI-RADS attributes and the patient's age.
