Calcifications may be the first detectable sign of malignancy and allow early detection of breast cancer when screening with mammography.Detailed analysis of the characteristics of the calcifications enables the radiologist to distinguish benign lesions from malignant lesions, assess the radiological extent and distribution of the disease, and propose adequate surgical interventions.
