Bilateral Screening Mammography 

CLINICAL HISTORY: The patient came in today for a screening mammogram.

Exam: Bilateral CC and MLO views were done. The exam was submitted to me today for interpretation.

COMPARISON: The clerical staff was unable to obtain prior mammograms for comparison.

FINDINGS:  There are scattered fibroglandular densities.  There is an approximately 12-mm obscured oval, asymmetric density in the middle third of the right breast in its outer quadrant. This has been previously marked. The remainder of the breasts are without any focal abnormality.
   
ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATION: ACR Birads category 0. Additional imaging advised.  Given the interval since the prior mammogram and given the marked asymmetric density in the right breast, spot compression views of the right outer breast are advised.
