Breast parenchyma density: Almost entirely fat (ACR type a).
Findings: In the left breast, at 2 o'clock, there are two round, spiculated, high density masses with 8 mm and 18 mm diameters.

Note the superior visibility of these masses on the digital breast tomosynthesis, as compared to the digital mammogram.
