title: Evaluation of the mammographic lesion.
abstract: Radiologists have all too often been vague about mammographic problems presenting on films. Their reports are often too equivocal. However, with a thorough mammographic evaluation, most lesions can be classified as benign, malignant or spurious. We have listed thirteen positions, apart from the routine craniocaudal and oblique views, that may help decide the malignant potential of a mammographic problem.
