Mammographically Indeterminate Microcalcifications ‐ Can We Do Any Better?

ABSTRACTIn the first round of the mammographic screening program of the South Australian Breast X‐ray Service, 80 (0.73%) of the first 10,848 women screened over 18 months were referred after primary and second‐stage assessment for definitive histology because of microcal‐cifications. Obvious mass lesions associated with calcification were excluded from this study, as were women whose calcification was regarded as sufficiently benign to warrant routine rescreening in two years.
