If the mass blurs a tissue plane between fat and fibroglandular tissue or if the mass produces distortion of the ducts, these findings may be termed architectural distortion.

Marker placement distinguishes multiple biopsied lesions within the same breast, prevents re-biopsy of benign lesions, enables multi-modality correlation, guides pre-operative localization and helps confirm surgical target removal.

Temporary brachytherapy places radioactive material inside a catheter for a specific amount of time and then it is removed. It is given at a low-dose rate (LDR) or high-dose rate (HDR). Permanent brachytherapy is also called seed implantation. It puts radioactive seeds (about the size of a grain of rice) in or near the tumor permanently.

These ligaments maintain the shape and structure of the breasts and help to prevent sagging. Cooper's ligaments support the breasts on the chest wall, maintain their contour, and keep them in position. Breasts become distorted if cancerous tumors grow on the ligaments.
