    ArchitecturalDistortionArchitectural distortionMany breast masses are found within the zone of fibroglandular
    tissue or at a fat-fibroglandular
    junction.
    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.

    BiopsyClipBiopsy clipTissue marker placement after image-guided breast
    biopsy has become a routine component
    of clinical practice.
    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.
    Numerous breast tissue markers are currently available,
    with varied shapes, composition,
    and associated bio-absorbable components.

    BrachytherapyTubeBrachytherapy tubeBrachytherapy may be temporary or permanent.
    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.
    After several months, the seeds lose their radioactivity.

    CooperDistortedCooper distortedThe cooper's ligaments are fibrous bands extending
    vertically from surface attached to
    chest wall muscles.
    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.
    The normal breast contours can be noticeably different
    once distorted.
    This can be because of swelling, bulges, retraction,
    etc.

    Cooper's ligaments support the breasts on the chest
    wall, maintain their contour,
    and keep them in position.
    These support breast tissue; and can become contracted
    in cancer of breast, producing
    dimples in overlying skin.
    Thickening occurs when there are skin changes usually
    associated with the presence
    of a mass, benign or malignant, that causes shortening
    in the Coopers ligaments due
    to fibrosis.
