Basic Information Specialist classification: gynecological examination classification: X-ray Applicable gender: whether women are fasting: not fasting Tips: Check your relaxation and actively cooperate with the inspection. Normal value Check that the film was not found with unusual shadows and patterns. Clinical significance Abnormal results: (1) The edge effect of the electrostatic imaging lumps of the dry plate is clearer than that of the molybdenum target, and the small lesions on the breast are also clearly located, and the radiation of the patient's breast is low. The accuracy of breast dry plate photography for the diagnosis of benign and malignant breast tumors is over 90%, the coincidence rate is up to 95%, and the false positive rate is 5%. However, there may be distortion in the fine structure. (2) Molybdenum target X-ray films can show breast soft tissue shadows of different densities. Benign lesions have a uniform shadow density, and there are often fat shadows with high brightness. The malignant block shadow is lobulated, with high density and burr-like edges. Commonly small and dense calcifications are sometimes seen, and thickened vascular shadows are sometimes seen.
