Hi - patient's X/MG shows a "suspiculation at 12:00 on the right breast." Suspiculation? It really sounds like that but my spell check won't give me any help - don't think it's suspicious calcification - the tape seemed pretty clear.

Thanks, guys!
Amy

It is probably is suspicious "something."

How about suspicious "lesion."

Carol ~ that sounds much more likely than calcification - I'll listen to it again when I finish the tape ~ thanks!

Hi Amy
I am not sure how this would fit in, but was thinking about spiculation.

Quote:
The existence of spiculated lesions on mammogram is found to be one of the important signs, which characterizes malignant tumors. Therefore, automated schemes for detecting spicules have been developed and reported by several research groups.
Here is a site you could check if you think that might be it.

Good luck...Bridget smile

Bridget! Spiculation is exactly it! I'm bummed because I JUST SENT THE NOTES to my physician with a flag - I wish I'd checked here again first! I'll note it for next time, though - thanks! (PS, I went with suspiculation, so at least I was close!)
