Mammographic morphology and distribution of calcifications in ductal carcinoma <i>in situ</i> diagnosed in organized screening

Abstract

DCIS presented overlapping groups of morphology and distribution of calcification by grade, but fine pleomorphic and fine linear and fine linear branching calcifications with grouped and segmental distributions were associated with high grade DCIS. Seeking for further knowledge that allows separation of non-high grade from high grade DCIS has to continue to improve the quality of mammographic screening.
