What does a diagnostic mammogram with a possible us mean?
A diagnostic mammogram is an imaging study (X-ray) that is used to visualize the breast. It is used either as a screening test or to rule mass lesions. Oftentimes, it is ordered in conjunction with an ultrasound. The ultrasound is another imaging study to differentiate the nature of the mass. For instance, if the mammogram showed a mass in the right upper quadrant of the left breast then it should be followed by an ultrasound to differentiate a solid mass from a simple cyst.
What does iso attenuating mean on a mammogram?
When an area of tissue on a mammogram is "isoattenuating," it means that it is of the same density as a reference tissue, and thus attenuates x-rays equally. When no reference tissue is explicitly stated, the surrounding tissue is usually implied to be the reference tissue. For example, to say, "the mammogram showed that the breast mass in question is isoattenuating," means that breast mass is the same density as the normal surrounding breast tissue.

What does uneven tissue in a mammogram mean?
Uneven tissue in a mammogram can indicate the presence of various breast conditions, such as dense breast tissue, benign growths, or potential areas of concern like tumors.

It's essential for a healthcare provider to evaluate any unevenness further, potentially leading to additional imaging or biopsies to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
