Abstract
The mammography is the only method that reduces the mortality of breast cancer until 44%, demonstrated in screening projects (Sweden, Netherlands, USA) [1]. Up to 20% of the detected cancers are DCIS (ductal cancer in situ). The DCIS are differentiated into low grade and high grade DCIS and especially the high grade DCIS contains up to 80% microcalcifications. In contrast to this, round lesions and masses are much more difficult to diagnose and the rate of detected small cancers with a diameter up to 1 cm is documentated with 70% [2].
