0:00

So our next topic is calcifications as a

0:03

recalled finding, and our protocol is to

0:07

do magnification views in the CC lateral

0:10

projection, as well as a full lateral view.

0:14

There are many benign etiologies for

0:16

calcifications, including things like

0:20

fibrocystic change, which is very common.

0:22

And then there are several high

0:26

risk entities, including atypical ductal

0:29

hyperplasia, atypical lobular hyperplasia.

0:32

Flat epithelial atypia and,

0:35

uh, lobular carcinoma in situ.

0:38

And then, of course, there's also ductal

0:40

carcinoma in situ, and then calcifications

0:42

that are associated with invasive cancers.
