Recently my wife (40 years old) had a mammogram and they are going to give her a second reading because of the detection of "folded skin" in her right breast. What is folded sin?
What is folded skin detection in a Mammogram?
This simply means that when the breast was compressed, there was a fold in the skin. Mammographers should smooth out folds as the compression plate starts applying pressure on the breast. A fold of skin on the mammogram can hide pathology, so the radiologist just wants a better picture. It does not indicate anything is wrong.
