Nipple markers make it easy to communicate and document nipple location on each breast to the interpreting radiologist or accurate year-to-year analysis
The distinctive round pellet on the image:
- Avoids misinterpretation of an inverted or rolled nipple as a retroareolar mass…and vice versa
- Acts as a reliable landmark for nipple to lesion measurements
- Assists in identifying medial or lateral deviation which may be indicative of uncaptured tissue on the image
- Provides visual documentation of inverted nipples or changes in nipple location due to prior surgeries
