B-mode ultrasound and elastography imaging of sparse punctate microcalcifications. Representative images from a 51-year-old female patient with sparse punctate microcalcifications (BI-RADS 4). (A) The B-mode ultrasound image (left) demonstrates a heterogeneous area with sparse hyperechoic foci. The corresponding elastography map (right) shows a predominantly softer tissue pattern (green-blue areas) with a mean elasticity value of 48.3 kPa and strain ratio of 1.25, confirmed as benign calcifications on histopathology follow-up
