Bilateral radio-opacities inside the placed nipple markers.

Case Discussion
A small radio-opacity, especially if unilateral projected over the lower thorax, may be a normal nipple outline or a intra-pulmonary lesion.
A repeat film with skin surface nipple markers applied, helps confirm, which is it and if further investigation is needed.
Simple, but effective.
