  DuctNormalhttp://hl7.org/fhir/us/breast-radiology/CodeSystem/DuctAbnormalityTypeCSDuct normal

Duct is considered normal. It is surrounded by normal cells and collagen in the breast with no abnormalities. A system of ducts in the breast carries milk to the nipples.

  SolitaryDilatedDucthttp://hl7.org/fhir/us/breast-radiology/CodeSystem/DuctAbnormalityTypeCSSolitary dilated duct

When it is malignant, solitary dilated duct appears to indicate the presence of DCIS. In almost all solitary dilated duct cases, the dilated duct appears to be filled with some debris, with or without accompanying fluid, as seen at ultrasound.

  DuctEctasiahttp://hl7.org/fhir/us/breast-radiology/CodeSystem/DuctAbnormalityTypeCSDuct ectasia

A noncancerous condition that results in clogged ducts around the nipple. While it sometimes causes pain, irritation and discharge, it's generally not a cause for concern. If left untreated, it can eventually obliterate the breast duct. www.healthline.com > health > duct-ectasia-of-the-breast

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Level A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies
System The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
Code The code (used as the code in the resource instance)
Display The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
Definition An explanation of the meaning of the concept
Comments Additional notes about how to use the code
