The craziness of the past week has settled down and #Breastradpath with @LizaMQuintana is back with Case 4!

53 yo had a screening MG. Maybe some new calcs or distortion in rt breast (arrow, 3D not shown)? #radres #radfellows -which images would you want during diag work-up?? Image She returned for diag work-up. Common diag w/u is mag views for calcs and tomo spots/90 for poss AD. But we decided to start with #contrastmammo & use enhancement to triage. What do you think? Based on these images alone, does it change your level of concern???? Ddx??

1/For this tweetorial in our #breastradpath series w @LizaMQuintana we're going to focus on #malebreastcancer for male breast cancer awareness week. An important topic that doesn't get enough attention! #BCAM @MBCC_MHBT @BreastCancerMen @BreastCancerNow @BreastImaging @Breast360 2/But before we can talk about the male breast, we first need to review the female breast. The female breast is made of skin, breast fat, ducts, and lobules. The breast sits on the pectoralis major muscle of the chest wall

1/ Let the tweetorials begin for our #breastradpath series with @LizaMQuintana! We're starting with the basics of screening mammography for #BCAM

Each screening mammo has 4 images-2 of the right breast and 2 of the left. If any abnormality is seen then we get more images 2/ There are 2 main areas on all mammograms - white areas are glandular tissue (part of breast that makes milk, yellow on image) & black areas are breast fat (blue). All women have both but in different proportions #breastdensity
