What does C mean in the mammogram result

[IdeaGenius]

I recently had a mammogram done, and the result said ‘C’. Can anyone tell me what this means? I'm feeling a bit anxious and would really appreciate some help from anyone who may have had a similar experience. I've tried looking online but haven't been able to find much information. Does anyone know what C stands for and what it could mean in terms of the results of a mammogram? Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated.

C stands for calcification in a mammogram result. Calcifications are small deposits of calcium, which can be seen on a mammogram. They are usually benign, but can sometimes indicate the presence of cancer. Depending on the size, shape, distribution, and pattern of the calcifications, a doctor may recommend further testing to determine the cause. Calcifications are often categorized as either macrocalcifications (larger deposits) or microcalcifications (smaller deposits).
