AbnormalityDensityCS

Visually estimated content of fibroglandular-density tissue within the breast

This code system http://hl7.org/fhir/us/breast-radiology/CodeSystem/breastrad-AbnormalityDensityCS defines the following codes:

CodeDisplayDefinition
CentralLucent These are rounded calcifications with a lucent center usually representing dermal calcifications. Larger calcifications with lucent centers may be due to oil cysts/fat necrosis and may follow surgery or trauma.These are rounded calcifications with a lucent center usually representing dermal calcifications.

EqualDensity X-ray attenuation of the mass is the same as the expected attenuation of an equal volume of fibroglandular breast tissue.X-ray attenuation of the mass is the same as the expected attenuation of an equal volume of fibroglandular breast tissue.
FatContaining Includes all masses containing fat, such as oil cyst, lipoma, or galactocele as well as mixeddensity lesions such as hamartoma.Includes all masses containing fat, such as oil cyst, lipoma, or galactocele as well as mixeddensity lesions such as hamartoma.
