Abstract
A total of 264 nonpalpable breast lesions seen at the Rene-Huguenin Ce nter were studied by computed tomography done using a predefined proto col with helicoidal scanning followed by acquisition of delayed sequen tial slices. Most of the lesions were foci of microcalcifications. Spe cificity was 83%, for helicoidal scanning and 68% for sequential slice s. The place, limitations, and use of computed tomography in other bre ast abnormalities are discussed.
