MAMMOGRAPHY X-Ray compression indications:
annual screening in asymptomatic women ≥ 40y women of any age with symptoms, such as a breast lump, and nipple discharge, and in patients who have a history of breast cancer for guiding biopsy (Mammotome)

ULTRASOUND patient positioning: support elbow, flat, supine
probe: linear array 7-13 MHz
18
ULTRASOUND mammary layer skin pre-mammary fat layer
retro-mammary layer muscle pectoralis rib
19
ULTRASOUND indications:
young (usually under 30 years of age) or pregnant patient who is symptomatic
20
ULTRASOUND indications:
to evaluate a palpable lump with negative or equivocal mammographic findings
21
ULTRASOUND indications:
can help to distinguish between benign vs malignant characteristics ColorDoppler and PowerDoppler can help distinguish malignant from benign tumours
22
ULTRASOUND BENIGN LESIONS well circumscribed shape
fibroadenoma fibroadenoma simple cyst BENIGN LESIONS well circumscribed shape no Color/Power Doppler signal inside the lesion
23
ULTRASOUND MALIGNANT LESIONS irregular margins posterior shaddowing
Color/Power Doppler signal inside the lesion
24
ULTRASOUND indications: for guiding biopsy
25
ULTRASOUND indications: for evaluation of breast implants for rupture

28
MRI Indications for breast MRI high risk screening :
personal/family history high risk lesions : ADH / ALH / LCIS BRCA1 / BRCA2 gene positivity mantle radiotherapy (>4 Gray) extent of disease (EOD) evaluation in ipsilateral and contralateral breast
29
MRI Indications for breast MRI positive margins
neo-adjuvant chemotherapy: to assess residual disease metastatic axillary lymphadenopathy of unknown primary to assess chest wall invasion to assess for synchronous, multifocal or multicentric disease

BIRADS CLASSIFICATION
BIRADS 0: incomplete, further imaging or information is required (e.g. compression, magnification, special mammographic views, ultrasound). BIRADS I: negative, symmetrical and no masses, architectural disturbances or suspicious calcifications present. BIRADS II: benign findings BIRADS III: probably benign, short interval follow-up suggested. BIRADS IV: suspicious abnormality BIRADS V: highly suggestive of malignancy (BIRADS VI: known biopsy proven malignancy)
