Abstract

Objective:To assess the application of magnification mammography in breast micro-lesion.Methods:68 cases with breast lesions underwent conventional mammography and magnification mammography.The breast lesions included massess with architecture distortion and breast calcification without mass.Images were compared and differention was made between benign and malignant lesions.Results:Among the 68 cases by conventional mammography check,6 were judged as benign,7 as malignant and the remaining 57 unsure.When reexamined by magnification mammography,32 were shown to be benign,27 to be malignant and the remaining 9 still unsure.Conclusive pathological exam after open biopsy showed that 36 cases were malignant and 32 cases were benign.The accuracy rate of diagnosis in 68 cases with micro-lesion findings undergoing the magnification mammography was greater than that in cases undergoing the conventional mammography.Conclusion:Magnification mammography used in mammography diagnosis can obuiously improve the diagnosis accuracy rate of the breast cancer. It plays an important role in clinical diagnosis.
