“…Upon localization of a mass, the next step is to decide whether it is necessary to continue the workup sequence with the other breast imaging modalities or biopsy, for example, fine-needle aspiration. Microcalcifications have the potential to be malignant, whereas macrocalcifications are likely caused by aging or inflammatory reactions (6,8,(10)(11)(12).…”

Breast imaging is an integral part of breast cancer management. Many imaging modalities are available in assisting clinicians in the screening and detection of breast cancer. These can be broadly grouped under three categories: X-ray-based breast imaging, magnetic-field-based breast imaging, and ultrasound wave-based breast imaging. Mammography is the most used X-ray-based breast imaging. This chapter provides an overview of various imaging modalities with emphasis on mammography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasound. Their uses in pre-and post-treatment settings, along with their advantages and disadvantages are presented from an Indonesian perspective.Note to the Reader: This chapter is part of the book Breast Cancer (ISBN: 978-0-6453320-3-2), scheduled for publication in July 2022. The book is being published by Exon Publications,

“…Surgical excision may be more beneficial than stereotactic-guided percutaneous biopsy in several circumstances, as the entire lesion is removed and additional unexpected abnormal findings may be detected which may be a valuable tool in morphology and histopathology correlation. 15,16,17 The purpose of this study was to compare the mammographic features of suspicious calcifications between DCIS and benign breast disease.…”

Background: Most ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) lesions manifest early as calcifications, which could be benign or malignant. The classified group of suspicious calcifications among DCIS and benign breast disease is clinically important to early evaluate patient risk factors and plan treatment options.Objectives: To compare imaging features of suspicious calcifications between DCIS and benign breast disease.Method: A retrospective study of 101 suspicious calcifications was performed at Thammasat University Hospital from June 2011 to October 2020. The calcifications were surgically excised by mammography-guided wire localisation. The mammographic features of the suspicious calcifications were reviewed according to the fifth edition of the American College of Radiology Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System lexicon. For comparing between two groups, the student t-test, Fisher’s exact test and Mann-Whitney U test were used for statistical analyses. The logistic regression analysis was calculated for DCIS prediction.Results: The pathologic results of all 101 suspicious calcifications were DCIS (30 cases) and benign breast disease (71 cases). Linear morphology and segmental distribution correlated significantly with DCIS (p = 0.003 and p = 0.024, respectively). After multivariable analysis, fine linear calcification still significantly elevated the risk of DCIS (odd ratios, 51.72 [95% confidence interval: 2.61, 1022.89], p-value of 0.01), however, the odds of predicting DCIS was not statistically significant different among any distribution.Conclusion: Ductal carcinoma in situ calcification has contrasting morphology and distribution features compared to benign breast disease. The calcification descriptor is considered an important implement for early diagnosis and distinguishes DCIS from other benign breast conditions.Contribution: Calcification descriptor is considered an important implement for early diagnosis and distinguishment of DCIS from other benign breast conditions.

“…Since the 1970s wire-guided localisation (WGL) has been the standard of care in many countries, including the UK. Although effective at providing pre-operative localisation with failure rates of between 1 and 7% [ 3 ] the technique has several disadvantages. The need for wire placement on the same day as surgery can negatively impact existing resources and interfere with breast one-stop clinics, theatre timing and utilisation, particularly if last minute problems are encountered.…”
