Objective To discuss the correlationship between the diagnosis of surgical pathology and the signs of malignancy which is both displayed by breast conventional mammography and amplificatory mammography with partial compression.Methods 65 cases with breast cancer were examined by both breast conventional mammography and amplificatory mammography with partial compression.The results of the two methods were analyzed.Results In all 65 cases of breast cancer,the comparison between breast conventional mammography and amplificatory mammography with partial compression could provide 16/60 cases in the X-ray signs of malignancy,which were in accordance with pathological examination results,19/41cases in the occurrence of calcification,13/37 cases in ductal calcification,0/4 cases in mixed type calcification,18/46 and 14/59 cases in the occurrence of lobulation and spicule signs.Conclusion Amplificatory mammography with partial compression can provide better insight in breast cancer than conventional mammography,especially in the region of dense shadow,small calcification and dense breast lesions,amplificatory mammography with partial compression can provide higher accuracy in diagnosis,especially for early breast cancer.
