Miscellaneous
100
Each lobe contains many lobules, and each lobule has branches of ducts that converge to form this
What is Main lactiferous duct
100
This zone is midway between the nipple and the outer zone.
What is Zone 2 (or 2)
100
This is the name of the guidelines we use to standarize, describe, and classify a breast mass
What is Breast imaging reporting and data system (BIRADS)
100
This is the name of the actual milk producing gland. It is also the smallest function structure of the breast
What is Acini
100
These are bright echogenic structures we see in breast ultrasound. They are made of connective tissue and connect the fascia around the ducts & glands. They extend outwards toward the skin.
What is/are Cooper's ligaments
200
These are the three layers of the breast from Superficial to deep (I need 3 answers)
What is Subcutaneous layer - Mammary layer/Glandular layer - Retromammory layer (Ribs/muscle/tissue/bone DO NOT count)
200
These are the clock hours of a quadrant on the Right breast from the very bottom up to the very lateral/mid section
What is 6:00 - 9:00
200
These are the full names of CC view and MLO view (I need 2 answers)
What are Cranialocaudal and Medialolateral Oblique
200
This is the combination of the lobule and the extralobular terminal duct
What is Terminal Duct Lobular Unit (or TDLU)
200
This is the name of the stage of lymph nodes closest to midline
What is Level 3 lymph nodes
300
This is one of the two main arterial supplies to the breast.
What is Internal mammary artery or Lateral thoracic artery
300
These are 3 of the many characteristics that sonographers look at to categorize a breast mass as malignant (I need 3 answers).
What are 1)fixed mass, 2)non-compressible, 3)highly vascular, 4)shadow, 5)hypoechoic, 6)heterogenous, 7)sharp angles, 8)taller-than-wide, 9)spiculations, 10)finger-like projects.
300
When we are looking at a mammogram labeled CC, the lower half of the screen tells us this location on ultrasound
What is Inner
300
The arrow in the picture is pointing to what breast layer?
What is Mammary layer or Glandular layer
300
*** DAILY DOUBLE *** These are two of the many reasons why a person would have an ultrasound because they are UNABLE to have a mammogram (I need 2 answers)
What is 1)male, 2)breast implants, 3)mastectomy, 4)Has had a high dose of radiation, 5)tissue too dense for mammo,
400
*** DAILY DOUBLE *** This is the location where the acini are found
What is ductule
400
This is a specific finding the sonographer should note about this image
What is breast implants
400
This is the clock face time we would be scanning by ultrasound if a mass is seen on the right breast on the lower half of the screen on CC and on the lower half of the screen on MLO.
What is 3:00 - 6:00
400
This is connective and fatty tissue that occupies the extra space in breast tissue between the lobes
What is Stroma
400
This is the complete area we would scan if a patient feels a palpable lump at 11:00 on her right breast
What is Rt 9:00 - 12:00 (or Rt Upper Outer quadrant) PLUS axilla
500
This is the explanation of why postmenopausal women's breast tissue is composed primarily of fat
What is as women age their estrogen levels decrease. This decrease in estrogen results in continued involution of the breast tissue - glandular tissue diminishes and mostly fat is left.
500
This is how we know our depth is set appropriately and deep enough while scanning breast tissue
What is the bottom of our screen shows 1)ribs/rib shadows, or 2)the bright echogenic line showing where the muscle ends
500
This is the clock face times we would be scanning by ultrasound if a mass is seen on the left breast on the lower half of the screen on CC and on the upper half of the screen on MLO.
What is 9:00 - 12:00 (left breast)
500
This is the location where slightly more lobes in breast tissue are located
What is the Upper outer portion (quadrant)
500
This site is the origin of most breast pathologies
What is Terminal Duct Lobular Unit (or TDLU)
