title: Breast skin calcifications: localization with a stereotactic device.
abstract: Calcifications that lie within the skin of the breast may be mistakenly thought to be intraparenchymal on mammograms if they are projected over breast tissue in two views. A simple, reliable technique was developed to determine calcification location. It uses a commercially available stereotactic localization device and has been used successfully in six patients.
