Breast imaging. (a) Mammography shows no malignant findings. Bilateral diffuse microcircular calcifications are observed in both breasts, but no significant differences from the previous imaging are apparent. The case is classified as category 2. (b) Breast echography shows a well-defined nodule in the lower outer quadrant on right breast surveillance before starting breast surveillance (top; approximately 2 years and 10 months previously) and before performing core needle biopsy (bottom). After 2 years and 10 months, almost no change is evident. (c) Contrast-enhanced MRI of the breast taken during the first surveillance (top) and the second surveillance (bottom). Both MRIs show similar nodules in the right breast, but washout is present during the second surveillance that is not seen on the kinetic curve from the first surveillance (white arrow)
