Mammogram of a female breast showing a heavily calcified fibroadenoma,a benign tumour. The well- defined outline of the fibroadenoma,a characteristic feature of a non-cancerous tumour,appears as a halo around the dense,white,calcified area. Fibroadenomas commonly arise in the breasts of young women under 30 & may also arise in older women approaching menopause. Mammography is a special X-ray technique that is used to visualize soft tissues of the breast as a means of screening women for breast cancer | |
