Hi Anne, This was an x-ray. The woman went to see the dr. because of pain in her breast (Mastodynie). The x-rays showed a fibrocystic mastopathy.
Anne Schulz Apr 20, 2010:
Is this mammography or MRI? I can find one instance of 'milchig' and 'konfluierend' to characterize contrast enhancement in breast MRI (http://books.google.de/books?id=S54Fcy54osoC&pg=PA197&lpg=PA... Otherwise this is rather typical lung x-ray terminology for the classification of opacities (milchig=ground glass, konfluierend=confluent).

dense confluent parenchyma

For mammography, 'milchig' here is probably what radiologists call 'dense parenchyma'. However, that is an interpretation rather than a translation, and you might therefore want to add a comment for the client.

confluent lactating parenchyma

Prolactin, a known stimulator of PTHrP expression in vivo, had no effect in this in vitro model. Second, PTHrP (1 - 34) secretion levels from confluent lactating mammary cells for 24 hours were evaluated.
