STUDIES OF PATIENTS WITH NON-PALPABLE BREAST LOCATIONS USING X-RAY MAMMOGRAPHY
Main Article Content
Abstract
Mammography is the only method for diagnosing mammary gland calcifications, which can be the primary and only sign of an incipient malignant process. Using digital X-ray mammography, patients were diagnosed with non-palpable breast cancer in which nodular formations were not detected during palpation. X-ray density of the mammary glands was assessed using the BI-RADS system (Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System. The results obtained confirm that digital X-ray mammography has made it possible to create on its basis two methods for studying the mammary glands, which are becoming widespread in the diagnosis of breast cancer patients with non-palpable breast formations.
