The Implication Of Artefacts On Mammography by otilowaju(f): 4:03pm On May 26, 2011
Hello Doctors in the House,
I did a mammogram last week and the result says:

Artefacts noted in some of the mammographs
The two br, sts are generally fibroglandular.  The nipples are everted,w ith normal subsutaneous tissues seen bilateraly. there's no mass, lesion or pathological calcification seen in both br, sts.  normal retrommammary spaces, with no lymphademopathy seen.    Normal study.


From a layman's assessment of the result I could tell there's no cause for alarm.  However, on checking the interpretation of the first line on the internet, I found out  artefacts in mammographs could mean the mamography equipment might have skipped some details shocked shocked shocked. What am I supposed to do? I did the test on my own when I was feeling ocassional pains in the two organs. I'm 45 years and I've removed two lumps in the past that were confirmed benign. thank you.
