Breast microcalcifications (MCs) are the main manifestationand/or robust marker of an early non-palpable breast cancer. However, theyare not always restricted to malignancies as they are also present in commonbenign lesions. Traditionally, breast MCs are only analysed in clustersbecause regular in vivo mammography has limited resolution for conductingindividual MC analysis. With our study, we markedly deviate fromconventional methods/studies by: (a) focusing on individual breast MCsinstead of clusters; (b) investigating the influence of image resolution onbreast cancer diagnosis using radiomics features extracted from highresolution 3D micro-CT individual MC images.
