in Not Diagnosed But Worried

Hello,

I was just wondering if anyone knows if there is a difference between "distortion" and "architectual distortion" on a mammogram. My finding just said "Right Distortion". They are recommending a follow up, of course. Thanks!

    Hi @smillie2025, Distortion is just a shortened form of architectural distortion. Different radiologists report the same things in slightly different ways. I hope you get good results on your follow up. All the best.

    As Maggie said, it’s simply a word choice difference. Take care
