Breast calcifications: analysis of imaging properties.

Abstract:

:The imaging characteristics of microcalcifications in both benign and malignant breast conditions were analyzed in 48 digitized film mammograms. Each case included in this analysis had findings considered suggestive of malignancy by the radiologist, with the underlying histologic structure determined by excisional biopsy. Imaging properties of each microcalcification--such as pixel intensity, relative location, distribution, size, and local neighborhood intensities--were recorded. This information was statistically analyzed at the population level according to such selection criteria as histologic type, size of calcification, and cluster size. Distribution ranges were determined for these criteria. Statistical differences between data from benign and malignant cases show the average distance between calcifications in malignant conditions was greater than in benign conditions, and tissue region averages surrounding calcifications associated with malignant conditions were consistently higher than those for benign conditions.
