Area of Architectural distoration, centrally located in the right breast, at 12 o'clock.. Diagnositc study of the right breast as well as targeted ultrasound is indicated.. BI-RADS 0.. My follow up visit is not until next week.. Should this be of any concern to notify doctor.. Thank you.

Those were just some examples of things that might lead to incomplete diagnosis.

The "bottom line" message of a BIRAD 0 is: "Your mammogram or ultrasound didn't give the radiologist enogh information to make a clear diagnosis; follow-up imaging is necessary.

I never had any breast surgeries.. What would cause scar tissue..

BIRADS 0 is described below. I would just wait for the follow-up visit and try not to jump to conclusions meanwhile (which of couse is easier said than done! :-< ).

"Category 0 -- Incomplete
Your mammogram or ultrasound didn't give the radiologist enough information to make a clear diagnosis. Don't worry, this may mean that scar tissue from a previous surgery or biopsy may have shown up, or that a lump that is big enough to be easily felt isn't imaging clearly. You will need to have a follow-up image done. "

(If you would like to see the rest of the BIRADS classification, I just listed it in my response to a post entitled "Zouzi" by alidi.)

Best wishes...
