[The diagnostic value of mammography during pregnancy and lactation (the radiological features of the breast during pregnancy) (author's transl)]. 1977

During early and late pregnancy and lactation, there is an increase in the size of the breasts, with increased density of their structure. The moderately dense parenchyma in young women is characterised by a) wavy contours of the subcutaneous zone and b) linear or oval translucencies in the central parenchyma. Our investigations indicate that it usually takes three months after delivery before the breast structure returns to normal and one is able to interpret the mammogram satisfactorily. For this reason mammography should be avoided during these three months and if there is a suspicion of disease in the breast, a biopsy should be carried out immediately.
