Evaluation of Breast Architecture and Mass Morphology in Digital Mammography using BIRADS
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
Breast architectural distortion is an abnormal arrangement of tissue strands and happened linearly as an indicator of breast cancer and conceivably it has a benign cause also. This prospective analytic cross section study was to evaluate and correlate between breast architecture and mass morphology using Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS). The study was conduct during the period from 2015 to 2018. 300 mammograms of ladies aged between 15 and 90 were evaluated. The research results showed that the architectural distortion was present in 117 of 300 (39%), and absence in 171 of 300 (57%). The architectural distortion and mass shape was correlated significantly at P-value = (0.000), the presence of architectural distortion was associated with irregular mass, whereas the absent of architectural distortion was associated with oval shape masses. The architectural distortion was associated significantly with speculated mass margin at P-value of (0.000) was found in 48 /102 cases. The relation between the architectural distortion and pathological outcomes using BIRADS was also been evaluated: 84/117 cases of distorted architecture were of BIRAD 4 (suspicious malignancy) and 54 of the cases were of BIRAD 1 with no presence of architectural distortion .Finally the study showed that there is association between architectural distortion and the features of mass morphology as well as the masses which were suspicious or highly suggestive to be malignant
