What Do Different Patterns of Microcalcifications Indicate?
The pattern of microcalcifications can help in diagnosing their cause: - Benign Patterns: These include scattered, round, or "popcorn-like" calcifications, which are usually not associated with cancer. - Suspicious Patterns: Tight clusters, linear, or branching patterns may be indicative of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or other forms of breast cancer.
