The size, shape,: and distribution of the microcalcifications is important in determining the level of suspicion. Specialized magnification mammograms use a smaller focal spot and smaller field of view. This increases the spatial resolution of the mammogram and increases the conspicuity of the calcifications, so the radiologist can more accurately evaluate these features. It is the standard of care for calcs.
