breast shadows

0.01 sec.

breast shadows,

artifacts caused by breast tissue that appear on chest radiographs of women. The shadows accentuate the underlying tissue and may cause the appearance of an interstitial disease process. Breast nipples may also appear on the radiograph as "coin lesions," requiring that a second radiograph with special markers attached to the nipples be made so that the two films can be compared.
