Sonogram question

by mendter, Jul 23, 2008 04:05PM
I have been diagnosed with breast cancer in the right breast and am scheduled for surgery.  An US was done to see if there were tumors in the left.  It describes a "sonolucent structure at 3:00 which is felt to represent a duct", and assigned a 'Result Code of  3- probably benign - follow up'.  What do the Result Codes mean?
