title: Lesion detection in breast carcinoma.
abstract: Early detection and identification of infraclinic breast lesions are a challenge for the radiologist. Diagnostic accuracy relies on careful analysis of some important mammographic clues, which are discussed in this paper. In particular, asymmetric breast tissue, focal asymmetric density, nonpalpable solid masses, stellate lesions and calcifications are reviewed.
